Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

My favorite candy and ice cream flavor is chocolate & peanut butter, so when I came across this easy recipe...I was so excited. So here's the recipe just in time for Halloween and the upcoming Holidays...

Ingredients:
1 pound milk chocolate
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2⁄3 cup confectioners' sugar
1⁄4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Finely chop the chocolate. Melt slowly over a double boiler until smooth.

Use a small spoon or pastry brush to coat small peanut butter molds or mini muffin cups with chocolate.

Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the chocolate set.

Combine peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a bowl. Spoon the mixture into the cups, filling to just below the top of the cups. Cover the peanut butter mixture with the remaining tempered chocolate. Use an offset spatula to smooth the tops.

Refrigerate peanut-butter cups until set (about 1 hour) before removing them from molds.

Enjoy!

Beyond the Rack...

As I continue to workout and train for next year's triathlons, I am finally starting to lose some, much needed, baby weight. I am slowly starting to feel good about how I look. Now I need to get out of this "mom funk" I am in....I need a makeover. So I scheduled an appointment at a local salon for a cut and style. I have begun shopping little by little each week, looking for new trendy clothes that flatter my figure vs. wearing the "comfy clothes" that are just plain easy to throw on. Through this search, I have found a website called Beyond the Rack. Have you ever heard of it?

Beyond the Rack, is a private online shopping club that allows its members to access luxury brand name fashion and accessories at up to 70% off retail prices.

Sales events typically run between two and four days long. Inventory is limited and is on a first-come first-served basis.

The prices are amazing and definitely work with all kinds of budgets. I cannot wait to start making some purchases for myself so I can once again feel like a woman & not a "mommy" all the time.

So are you tempted to check out this site? Well you're in luck because I have a private invitation exclusively for you! Just visit this link to accept the invite and start receiving email notifications inviting you to sales events. It's worth a try :-)
