Chocolate Almond Macaroon Bars have a tender short bread layer on bottom and an ooey, gooey coconut, dark chocolate & almond top. "Almond Joys have nuts, Mounds don't!"

Soft, delicious peanut butter oatmeal cookies make a perfect after school snack, grab a glass of milk and dig in! I'm not sure if another household loves peanut butter as much as we do! Okay time for a slightly embarrassing story. Before we moved last year, when I was packing up I discovered 8 jars of peanut butter in my pantry. That's 8 – not one, not two or even three but EIGHT! My sister said I had a serious peanut butter problem, but you know what? We used them all and since then I have had ... Read More about Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
