REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER BARS

So, my husband and I have finally reached the cool factor in our oldest son’s eyes.

You know that stage that teenagers go through where their parents are lame and so not cool.  Yeah, I think we finally got out of that stage.  Woo hoo!  Lucky for us our younger two still think we are cool…we are hoping they skip the “we think our parents are uncool” stage.

My husband has an old Saab convertible that is his baby.  Our oldest thought it was the ugliest thing.  That is until some of his friends started saying how cool his dad’s car was.  And that they thought his dad was a cool dad too.  All of a sudden he doesn’t mind being seen at the movies with dad and mom when his friends are around.  Score 1 point for the parents.


Reese's Peanut Butter Bars - rich brownie like bars that have three times the Reese's peanut butter in them. Awesome dessert recipe.

Then the other day, he came home from school and told me that they were talking about food in Spanish class, so he shared about my blog.  His teacher couldn’t believe that he got to try all the food that is on here.   Then later that day, someone from another class said, “I didn’t know you had a famous baker for a mom.”  (really, I’m not famous…but I’ll let his friends think that for sure)
