Chocolate Peanut Butter Reigns Again, But This Time It's Cute

Wow, don't these look just like acorns? Yes, it's another recipe calling for both chocolate and peanut butter. I seem to have a fondness for those. These chocolate and peanut butter acorns were conceived by Six In The Suburbs. They are both easy and quick to make, and would make an excellent project for a parent to do with the kids. The recipe requires both regular Hershey's Kisses, and mini-chocolate chips, as well as bite-size NutterButter cookies. Apply a bit of microwaving and sticking together, and voila! Acorns!

I'll get right to the point: this fabulous serving-size cake takes three minutes (or less) to cook in the microwave. And you probably have all of the ingredients in your cupboard right now. Need a fast fix of chocolate? Or looking for a fun cooking project to do with your kids? This Nutella Chocolate Mug Cake  is it. It comes from Josie Milano, a contributor at Today's Mama, She notes that one of the best things about it (other than the taste) is the fact that there's very little cleanup -- it's all made right in the mug.

Tiny, Tasty and Tempting: These Treats Will Please Any Chocolate Fan

Okay, now this is what I'm talkin' about. These chocolate peanut butter bites remind me of a similar treat I made around the December holidays with Rollo candies and pecans. The recipe for this looks every bit as easy as the other one was, thanks to Elissa of 17 and baking. Pretzels, chocolate, peanut butter, brown sugar and a few other things turn this into a quick and easy snack that requires no real cooking -- just microwaving.

Chocolate and Granola: the Perfect Combo Snack

Maybe it's just what I'm craving right now, but these chocolate granola bars from Brandy at The Marathon Mom are making my mouth water. Believe it or not, they appear to be healthy as well: the recipe calls for natural peanut butter, honey, real oats, coconut, and yes, chocolate. Almost guilt-free, right? They'd be perfect for an afternoon or midnight snack!

No-Bake Cookies Full of Chocolatey Goodness

Okay, I confess that I have much to learn about cooking and baking. But one thing I was taught while young enough to tug on my grandma's apron was this: cookies come out of the oven. These no-bake chocolate peanut butter cookies, however, fly in the face of that. There's no baking, and they are flourless. And amazingly easy -- just mix all the ingredients together, and eat it. Katie at Chocolate-Covered Katie uses real peanuts, raisins and peanut butter (of course) to complement the chocolate yumminess.

That chocolaty goodness you remember from childhood camping trips can be yours in your living room in front of your flat screen TV in as little as ten minutes.
