So I am still working on perfecting the dessert menu for the women’s event coming up at church in a couple of weeks. Those yummy Key Lime Bars definitely made the cut. But I knew I needed at least one or two chocolate based recipes. What would a church event for women be without chocolate?!? [...]

Today’s recipe is one I have had in my recipe file for years – it is also in our “Best of the Best Family Recipes” cookbook because it is a keeper. I have no idea why they are called “Mud Hen Bars”. When I googled the name I discovered there is a Mud Hen, New [...]

Wednesday is usually “Lovely Lemon” day but today I was in the mood for chocolate and peanut butter. I love that combination. I remember my first taste of that wonderful combo came in some Baskin & Robbins Peanut Butter and Chocolate ice cream - the best! Add some cream cheese to that peanut butter and chocolate [...]
