Recipe: Peanut Butter Blossoms

Nan and Kat are going to a "Halloween" party tomorrow night for their small groups. Nan is supposed to bring 2 dozen cookies. She requested that I buy the ingredients to make Peanut Butter Blossoms. Can I just say that these are my undoing.....I love peanut butter, and I love chocolate. This is a deadly combination. Our friend Sarah came over and helped her make them. She's made them before and I haven't so I figured, lets get an experienced Peanut Butter Blossom maker to help you out Nan! Oh my!! They are soo good. Especially right out of the oven. I thought I'd share the recipe.

I also received the Kraft Family and Food magazine and inside was a recipe for an amazing looking peanut butter chocolate pie. The girls and I drooled over it and Kat said I could make it for her birthday! Oh Yah!!!
