Easy 3 ingredient peanut butter fudge balls&bars Yummy!!!

I make these all the time for the kids easy peanut butter fudge balls&bars:) They only require 3 ingredients and so simple to make I have made them for years. They were my late grandpas favorite. I use to make them for him he just loved them, he was a peanut butter LOVER:)I miss him so much, he has been gone almost 3 months now, and it seems to be getting easier but he is still always thought of, and I have him tucked away here in my heart. The recipe is as follows..

2 sticks of butter- I use blue bonnett,its my favorite for baking
3/4 a jar of peanut butter-jif is my next favorite
and a pound of powdered sugar(slightly more if needed)
I put the butter and peanut butter in large pan and stir until completely liquid form and o let me tell you the smell.. YUMMY:)
allow to boil when I say boil I mean it will start to pop and be careful it will pop peanut butter on you sometimes..lol..
I stir and let it slightly pop(aka slightly pop boil)
remove from heat and add the pound of powder sugar slightly over if needed it will look someone like a peanut butter cookie recipe after stir with powdered sugar
MAKE INTO BALLS OR POUR INTO SMALL PAN TO MAKE BARS
IT IS VERY GREASY LOOKING!!!THATS FROM THE BUTTER AND PEANUT BUTTER MIXING TOGETHER, HEY ITS FATTENING SO THAT GREASY LOOK GOES AWAY AS SOON AS YOU LET IT SET UP IN FRIDGE FOR AN HOUR OR LIL LONGER!!
after the are firm, the greasy look will be gone after they harden, remove from fridge. Place semi sweet mini chocolate chips in a bowl and melt in microwave untill completely melted and add chocolate drizzles on the balls and bars, I added drizzle on my balls and a chocolate layer on top my bars.
put back in fridge to harden chocolate and ta-da it is done, an easy 3 ingredient peanut butter idea, NOW I AM SURE YOU WILL SAY THIS IS A 4 INGREDIENT THAT IS IF YOU DECIDE TO ADD THE CHOCOLATE, AND THAT IS UP TO YOU:)
Well I hope you enjoy and as always thanks for stopping by and please follow along, and send a friend.

Memorial Day Jello Cake..YUMMY!!!

Morning Blogging Friends:) I just wanted to take this time to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day, and to remember to honor all who have served for OUR GREAT COUNTRY!! I know we will be flying out flag, and saying a prayer for all our men and women in service, and the fallen soilders. My husband served 6 years active Army, and 2 national guard. I know what its like to be a military wife, and to have young children, it is hard, but I was always and still am proud of my husband. He and I stuck it out for 8 years military life. We have our best memories in the military:) And some of our hardest and saddest memories in the miltary, but it all made us stronger. I THANK all serving now, and in the past, soilders who have gone to heaven to be with Our Lord as a fallen HERO, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I wanted to share a cake I made in honor of Memorial Day. Its a strawberry jello cake, and I added some blueberries and fresh cut strawberries to resemble a flag design on top. I know the colors are not where they should be on a traditional flag, but I like the design all the same:)

Flag Jello Cake

1 box yellow cake mix(make cake mix according to the package)
after cake is cooled poke several holes in it using a fork
Take one small package of jello mix and make it according to the box( you may use any flavor, but I used strawberry to go with the stawberries on the theme of my cake)
pour liguid jello mixture over cake
then place in fridge for a few hours
add almost 1 tub of cool whip( depending on how thick you want the cool whip on your cake)
add fresh fruit in my case strawberries and blueberries I made in a flag design this time but I usually just add strawberries on top or blueberries any fruit that goes with your jello flavoring would be the best
be sure to leave your cake in the fridge keep it cool when not eating:)
All this is great cake, hope you enjoy:)YUMMY!!!

Thanks for stopping by and please be sure to follow along, I love new friends:)

Primitive White Bench

I wanted to share with you the bench I have had for awhile now that was picked up at a yard sale for 5.00. I have it outside my home, and I love it. It has the distress look and I love that too. It shows you can find so many neat items CHEAP at yard sales. Alot of my items outside items even for seasonal display or my inside home decor items come from yard sales. I love finding those bargains and re-doing an item or finding nice gently used name brand clothing for a huge FRACTION of what you pay at the store. My family and friends know me as the yard sale queen. I get I can't believe you got that at a yard sale alot, but I did. I DEFINATELY believe in the motto someones trash is anothers treasure.....:) Thanks for stopping by this morning, still finishing up the posie pillow I have they needed some work I am NOT the sewer so they are in need of a touch up and some buttons. Hope to have them up Friday:) As always please follow along I love to have you, and send a friend....
