Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

By
I was craving something sweet tonight. And while I could have raided the boys' Halloween candy, I wanted something I would actually enjoy. I've had homemade peanut butter cups on my radar for awhile. So, tonight I tackled them and they were delicious!


Ingredients makes 12 homemade peanut butter cups
  • 4 C semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1/2 C organic creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 C organic powdered sugar
  • 2 T butter, softened

Procedure
Line a standard 12-cup muffin dish with paper liners. Melt and temper your chocolate in a double boiler.


Spoon 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each muffin cup. Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes. In the meantime, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar and butter. Blend until smooth.


Remove pan from freezer and top the chocolate layer with a small spoonful of the peanut butter mixture. 


Smooth the peanut butter and top with another teaspoon of tempered chocolate. Place the pan in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve chilled.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
