Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies…

Bring to boil: 
1 cup butter
1 cup water 
2 Tbsp cocoa

Remove from heat; let cool.

Mix in bowl: 
2 cups sugar
1 tsp soda 
2 cups flour 
½ cup buttermilk
½ tsp salt 
1 tsp vanilla 
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray or grease 40 mini-muffin cups. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, about 1 heaping teaspoon in each.

Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until top is set and toothpick inserted into center comes out slightly moist. 

After brownies are out of the oven, wait for centers to fall. This will happen upon cooling. If not then tap the centers with teaspoon, this will make a indent for peanut butter.

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Over low heat, warm creamy peanut butter. While brownies are still warm spoon about half teaspoon warm peanut butter into the center of each brownie; top with chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Cool completely in pan. Remove from pan and serve.

Homemade Granola Bars

Ingredients:
2 1/2 C. quick oats
1/2 C. crisp rice cereal
1/2 C. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 C. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 C. canola oil
1/4 C. honey
1/2 tsp. vanilla
* optional: ground flax seed and/or wheat germ (I use 3 heaping Tbs. or so of each).

Directions:
Mix all ingredients (except for the chocolate chips - keep those out for now) really, really, really well. 
I start with a wooden spoon and then usually end up using my hands too. 
Take your time to make sure everything is really blended. 
Taking your time also allows the wet ingredients to sort of soak into the dry components. 
If your mixture seems dry after mixing then you may need to add a little more oil and/or honey - a teaspoon at a time - until it starts to clump up a little. 
Then add in chocolate chips.
Now place on parchment paper on sheet or in baking pan. 
You can either cook in one and cut after or try shape them. 
Bake 350 for 17-22 min .
Granola is picky to cook so keep watching it!!!!
