    Loaded Peanut Butter Brownies
    These Loaded Peanut Butter Brownies are full of fudgy, peanut butter flavor. If you love chocolate and peanut butter, then you are going to love these brownies!
     
     
     
    Sometimes the only thing that will make a soul feel better is chocolate. Things happen in life at times that makes you feel like there is nothing you can do because you have hit rock bottom. Fortunately, when you are feeling so despondent, there are others around you who love you and refuse to let you hit that rock bottom so hard that you can't turn back. Sometimes those others have chocolate ;o)
    Loaded Peanut Butter Brownies

    I have heard some people say that certain people can "make you" or "break you". I say the only person who can do either of those things is yourself. I believe strength comes with age, with age comes wisdom. As I have gotten older I have become a very strong person. I think back about how I didn't used to be and realize I have come a really long way. That doesn't mean that I don't have my moments of weakness. There are people out there who would love to break someone who is high on life and happy with themselves. Instead of hating those people though, I pity them. I pity them because they have no idea what it really means to be happy.

    Loaded Peanut Butter Brownies

    Things that make me happy? The number one thing is my kids. I'm so darn proud of them I could just burst. They are young, so they are still working on their lives. They still have a lot to learn, but the one thing they do have going for them is they both have their mom and their dad to support them in times of despair AND in happiness. Like many parents, my kids are my life. I will do anything it takes to be there for them no matter what they may need!

    I will do the simplest things to make my children happy..... like making these brownies! It's my feeling that nothing shows love like home baked goodness. I believe my children have learned the lesson of how to show their mom the love too.

    Loaded Peanut Butter Brownies

    A few nights ago when Chris was here, he helped me make the Loaded Peanut Butter Brownies by chopping the peanut butter cups for me. My right shoulder/neck/arm has been bothering me, and as a result of this, I am not able to do things around the house as I have been able to in the past. He was such a good son and helped me clean the flour that spilled on the floor and didn't show any impatience with me for being so clumsy. His patience surely shows how much he loves his mom!

    I made these brownies for Chris because he was having a hard time he told me he wanted brownies. These brownies are the best of all brownies and I knew these were just what he needed. These are definitely not low in fat or calories, but when you are in need of comfort, calories don't count!

      Sorry to hear of the rough patch. The brownies do look like they'd cheer someone up.

      This was such a touching post to read. I agree with all of your reflections, from what makes us grow as people to how much we love our children.

      People like Marie Coe always inspire me with their selfless way of giving to others. I hope your former pastor gets a chance to read your tribute to her!

      I'm sorry about your friend, HoneyB. Here's some HUGS. Your post made me sad, cause I'm not getting along with my Mom for the first time in my life. I wish she had your attitude toward me. Then all would be well. Your brownies look scrumptious!! I can smell them, ha, cause I just baked some too!

      I agree that chocolate can help an awful lot--I'm sorry you've been needing it lately. 🙁

      I just found the baking pb cups and peppermint patties and bought a zillion more bags--what an evil addiction this baking with candy pieces is turning into.
