My Dentist's Wallet Loves Me

I remember one birthday party my sister and I went to when we were still young.

I still can't believe what we took as a gift. . . 

the biggest bag with every assortment of candy you can even try to imagine.

I remember joking with our friend's mom

Don't send us the dentist bill.

I literally have the worst sweet tooth in the world.

Most especially chocolate.

And peanut butter.

And when Pinterest -- God bless Pinterest

leaves my heart hopeful over the prospect of homemade versions of my

favorite artery-clogging candies,

I get my bloomin' bum into the kitchen and get started.

No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

{adapted from here}

1 cup butter melted

2 cups graham cracker crumbs 

2 cups powdered sugar

1 cup + 4 tablespoons peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

Chocolate Candy Coating

Mix first 5 ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl 

Press into a parchment lined pan

{I used a round cake pan}

Melt enough chocolate candy coating to cover the peanut butter mix

Refrigerate until solid

Cut into chunks and literally try not to consume like a mad woman

I love this candy by itself.

I love this candy with fresh strawberries.

I love this candy for breakfast.

I love this candy for lunch.

I love this candy for dinner.

I love this candy for a midnight snack.

I do not love this candy on my hips.

Maybe I need one more piece to round out the edges. . . 

Happy Hump Day, Lovelies.

Two more early mornings for me.

Then weeeek- eeend!
