Buckeyes

You guys are in for a real treat. At a relief society activity this week we made a couple different recipes (which I would share but I LEFT the recipes at the church. I'm hoping to snag a copy of all of them this week) and one of them is my new favorite.

Buckeyes

1 1/2 cups of Peanut Butter (I personally like smooth)

2 oz Cream Cheese, softened

1 cup crushed Graham Crackers (about 10 full crackers)

3 cups of Powdered Sugar

1 1/4 sticks of butter melted

1 12 oz. bag of chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)

First, get the chocolate melting in a double boiler. Check on it and stir occasionally. 

Cream the peanut butter and cream cheese together with an electronic mixer. Add the crushed graham crackers until combined. Gently mix in the powdered sugar and melted butter. The consistency will be a tad dry but perfect for rolling into balls.

Roll into 1 inch balls and dip in chocolate. the traditional way to do it is to leave a circle uncovered on the top (you can google it to see), hence the name Buckeyes, but really you can just dip the whole thing in chocolate if you want. Or you don't even have to dip them in chocolate and they're still delicious!

Here's a covered and uncovered one. The dipping job wasn't the prettiest (was running out of chocolate) but these are the last two we have so I snapped a picture real quick! They really are decadently delicious!

 Our morning started out with Dan dropping this

In the kitchen and spilling everywhere. It was completely full. On the table, chairs, floor and on me. I was expecting Noah's ark to come. Haha luckily we have super absorbent towels and our floor got a good mopping. Funny way to start the morning!

Everything is going pretty well. Classes are going well (Dan has been knocking some tests out of the water!), two more job interviews (but no luck yet :/) and we're still alive! Friday night we went to the Temple which is always a good experience. We went grocery shopping because well... we needed to! Our fridge was so empty! Haha

Saturday we did homework pretty much all day. I got so much done it was pretty ridiculous. Then by that evening we were like... we need to do something. So we went to Kiwi Loco (LOVE) and it was amazing mmm Then Jordynn & Mike followed us there (but not really) and we were all like hey! And they were like come watch a movie! So we watched Snow White and the Huntsmen which was actually really good when our husbands weren't making fun of Kristen Stewart's bad acting, awkward kissing, lack of lines and amount of hard breathing. She was bad (better than Twilight) but still bad. But the movie, the plot and how it was shot was great! We all agreed it was like Twilight, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings all in one movie. It was good, you just have to tolerate Kristen Stewart haha

And in Nursey this week we learned about the Book of Mormon, how to share and that we shouldn't bang on the walls. We only have 4 kids but like usual, it's always fun. Happy Sunday :)
