And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

A Childhood Favorite

We made peanut butter fingers this morning for a Sunday school fellowship we are having tonight at the park here in Gassville. These have been a family favorite of mine since I was little. My mom and I used to make these. Today Livy helped me make them (she loved helping pour the dry things in). The tradition continues.

I need just a taste Mom.

Flour face.

Please wipe my hands! (there was drama in how she said that. she hates to be messy!)
Here is the recipe. Peanut butter fingers are super simple to make. Plus pretty darn tasty too. If you love peanut butter and chocolate, then you will LOVE these!

1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1/3 c. peanut butter
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. flour
1 c. quick cooking oats (I used old fashion, but whatever you have.)

Topping:
6 oz. of chocolate chips (1/2 bag)
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. peanut butter
2 to 4 tbsp. milk

Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Blend in egg, peanut butter, soda, salt, and vanilla. Stir in oats. Spread in greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 min. After baking, sprinkle immediately with chocolate chips. Let stand for 5 min. Spread chocolate chips evenly over top. Then, combine powdered sugar, peanut butter, and milk for topping. Drizzle over top and swirl with the chocolate.

Finished product! YUMMO!
