Katy's Peanut Butter Squares

Craving Chocolate and Peanut butter, eh?

So was I... so I concocted this delicious beauty.

Katy's Peanut Butter Squares

• 1 package of low fat graham crackers (app. 24 crackers)
• 1.5 cups of Jiffy Natural Peanut Butter (or if you have one healthier then that, try it as long as it doesn't have to be refrigerated)
• 1 stick unsalted Butter
• 1 bag Ghiradelli - Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler.

Put the graham crackers in a large Ziplock bag and smash them however you like... be creative :)  Mash them until they are the size you want.  (I prefer them really mashed up)

Melt the stick of butter and mix it with the graham crackers, then add the peanut butter.

Spread the peanut butter/graham cracker mixture into a pan (preferably a glass pan) and pack it in.

Poor your chocolate over the top of your mixture and place pan in the fridge.

As hard as it is...  leave your Peanut Butter squares in the fridge for anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour.

I drew a heart in mine about 10 minutes into that refrigeration...

DIG IN.

Katy's Broccoli Chicken and Cheese Braid

Since my blog title bases a food I thought it might be appropriate for me to post a recipe that I find delicious.

My friends, I introduce you to Katy's Broccoli Chicken and Cheese Braid

• 1 cup Steamed Broccoli
• 1 cup chicken breast
• 1 cup 2% reduced fat cheddar cheese
• 1 can Pillsbury reduced fat crescent rolls
• Olive oil
• Rosemary (fresh is best) and Basil (to taste)
• Ground Pepper and Sea Salt (to taste)
• Parchment paper

Cook chicken in a skillet on the stove top using olive oil.  Cook until it is no longer pink, but do not over cook!

Spread parchment paper over a cookie sheet and lay out crescent roll dough.

Mix chicken, steamed broccoli, and cheese together and spread in the middle of the dough.

Add rosemary, basil, pepper, and salt to desire.

Fold edges of dough over the top of your creation, making it look pretty.

Stick in the oven at 400'F for 12 minutes, or until crescent rolls begin to brown.

Eat and Enjoy!!
