Perfectly chewy peanut butter blondies are topped with sky-high, homemade marshmallow fluff! These fluffernutter bars were born from a craving for peanut butter and fluff. I would have just made a sandwich, but I was stuck at home during one of our bagillion nor’easters this year and we ran out. I KNOW. Cardinal rule of…
Peanut Butter
Fluffernutter Cookies
The classic New England fluffernutter sandwich is turned into a cookie! Thin, chewy peanut butter cookies are filled with swirls of marshmallow fluff. Fluffernutter sandwiches are a New England staple. So much so, in fact, that it’s considered the unofficial sandwich of Massachusetts (and has been proposed to be the official sandwich). Additionally, there is…
Halloween Puppy Chow
Whether you call it puppy chow or muddy buddies, the addition of Halloween candy and autumn colors turn this into the perfect festive party snack! I’ve been trying so hard to come up with new paleo recipes and get better about baking without gluten, sugar and dairy that I almost forgot Halloween is at the…
Buckeye Balls
A Midwest holiday tradition! Easy, no-bake creamy peanut butter filling covered in rich chocolate that resembles the nut from the buckeye tree. Hey all! So I spent the week in Chicago as a surprise to my father – he thought he was getting a package, but instead he got me. Thankfully, he was okay with…

Apple Pupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
A special treat your dog will love that is DEFINITELY Penny Approved! Chunks of fresh apples, creamy peanut butter and bacon crumbles will make your furbaby as happy as Penny. This fabulous girl turned two last weekend! You can see it in her eyes… she’s super excited to be a big girl now. She’s full…
Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream
This is going to be short and sweet (literally) for two reasons: 1) I didn’t have power for a few days after some horrible storms hit the area this week, so everything in my fridge and freezer melted/went bad, limiting my baking ability for the week. 2) My camera died (because I couldn’t recharge it due…
Peanut Butter Cups Stuffed with Apples
All the conference rooms in my office have a jar of candy on each table, and I happen to sit right next to one. Do you know how bad that is for my diet? It’s bad. Very, very bad. Don’t get me wrong – I love candy. I also like peanut butter. And chocolate. And apples. So it’s really…
Easy Peanut Butter + Chocolate Apple Nachos
I’m the kind of person (or maybe the only person?) that gets intense cravings for fruits and vegetables. It will hit me like a ton of bricks and the overwhelming need to consume [insert food here] takes over and I can’t focus on anything else. And if I can’t get what I want in that moment,…
Edible Pinecones
Sometimes Princess Unikitty likes to take walks in the forest. A snowy forest. A snowy forest of edible pinecones. And no, not just edible by your dog’s standards. I wish I could take credit for these precious treats. I really do. I don’t think I’ve ever had people gush over something I made the way…
Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Cookies
One of my family’s traditions has always been Buckeye Balls. We made them at holidays and it always ended in a huge, peanut buttery, chocolately mess. Now mind you, as a child I didn’t mind being covered in chocolate and eating the peanut butter balls that fell apart when I tried to dip them….
Peanut Butter Cookies… for your dog!
Recently, I had a crazy craving for peanut butter cookies. I don’t know what came over me, but it was all I could think about. So as soon as I got home from work, I set to work. Poor Penny was staring at me like I killed her best friend because she could smell peanut…
Peanut Butter + Banana Pupcakes
I found out late in the day of March 23rd that it was National Puppy Day. And how could I possibly not celebrate my favorite little girl? And in true form, I had to go a little overboard. Yes, I’m calling them pupcakes. No, a puppy doesn’t need a homemade pupcake. And no, she doesn’t…
Peanut Butter + Bacon Dog Treats
I love bacon. You love bacon. We alllllll love bacon. Okay… not all of us. But most of us, anyway. And since I love bacon, why wouldn’t my dog love bacon? We’ve all seen the Beggin’ Strips commercial, and <sarcasm>they can’t lie on TV so obviously it’s true.</sarcasm> I probably should have given…
Peanut Butter Frosted Chocolate Brownies
I’ve always had a soft spot for the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. I totally missed the boat on National Peanut Butter Day (it was on January 24th) so I decided to make these the following weekend because I’m always looking for an excuse to make (and you know, eat) peanut butter and…
Pumpkin + Peanut Butter [Dog] Treats
I knew I was going to be the puppy mom who would be making her own dog treats, but I thought I’d start more than two days after we brought her home. I guess I can chalk it up to nesting! Thankfully, the boyfriend’s sister’s fiance’s mother’s coworker (lost yet? I am.) was able to…
