Marchocolate

I couldn't let this NW Ohio holiday pass us by.  For Marchocolate, we made Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake for the neighborhood kids.

Cake:
1 chocolate cake mix
ingredients on back of box
1/2 chunky peanut butter
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips





Frosting:
16 oz. container of chocolate icing
1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Make batter according to directions. Add peanut butter & chocolate chips.
Bake 25-30 minutes in a 9x13 pan.

Mix frosting ingredients and top cooled cake.

The Real Scoop

Very yummy!  We had big pieces, then had a second helping!
Deryus (in the back) did the icing.

The New Philly

I have two secret food obsessions; the first one is Slim Jims, and the second is cream cheese.  Imagine my excitement when I saw this in the grocery store:

The recipe:
Container of Philly Cooking Cream
1 lb. of chicken, cooked
1/2 lb. of spaghetti, cooked
Small bag of carrots, broccoli & cauliflower
Fresh Parmesan cheese
Mix all together and serve.

It wasn't too bad!
It reminds me a bit of Alfredo.
Try this one if you need something quick.

This wasn't one of my favorites.
It was a little dry & didn't have much flavor.
I would have rather had one of Mom's Slim Jims.
