It's Recipe Wednesday, Dessert Style!
When Joshua was gone, for some reason I really had the urge for some chocolate. I am not a chocolate person. I love fruit. I would choose something fruity over chocolatey any day.
My mother and sister on the other hand, chocolate lovers!
But one night I really was just craving some chocolate.
Enough to drive 10 minutes into town? No.
Luckily, my mother had been here this summer. She makes the most amazing no bake cookies. I don't know how she does it.
I saw the cocoa in the pantry and boom.. I knew exactly what I was going to make for my chocolate craving!
Add the spoonful of pb and oh my... they were divine.
