I tried this recipe after I saw Trevlyn post it on FB via her blog. I haven't had one yet. Bret was indifferent but he is indifferent on most yummy things I make. He always says that he wishes I loved to COOK as much as I love to BAKE. Jasmine gave them a 7.

I had fun making them either way. I adapted the recipe - I placed the cinnamon sugar into a brown paper bag and tossed the doughnut/muffin into the bag to coat.

I looked for a new calzone recipe tonight and found a winner. This requires fresh spinach which Bret wanted instead of canned spinach.

He gave it a 9 out of 10

One thing I did do to change the recipe is I added pizza sauce. Bret loves pizza sauce. On my half of the calzone I just had feta and mozzarella chesse. I would have put more cheese on my end and more sauce. But it was yummy. I also added Italian Seasoning to the crust of the bread before baking.

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

To make the Peanut Butter Insides:
one jar of creamy peanut butter
one stick melted butter
one pound of powdered sugar


This makes a ton. I usually do about 1/3 of this. You want the consistency to be so that you can roll the peanut butter into little balls.

Buy a mold from some place like Michael's. These are only a couple of dollars. I would recommend buying several so that when one is "setting" in the freezer while you are working on another batch.

Melt the chocolate. I always use the double boiler method because that is how Mom taught me. Put a small amount of melted chocolate in the cup of each mold. Place a rolled up ball of peanut butter yumminess. Put more chocolate on top. Place in freezer until hard.
Eat.
