LOOK!

This is all the junk food/candy/fruit snacks that I pulled out of my pantry a week or two ago. Dawson mastered the art of climbing to the top shelf of the pantry and sneaking anything sweet upstairs and devouring it. I had HAD it! In hindsight, I probably should have taken it somewhere that it might have been used, but in my moment of "NO MORE SUGAR EVER" I threw it all out. It's been a lot better here lately, too. Dawson is over his withdrawals and doesn't ask for candy for every meal any more. I haven't even gotten fruit snacks. I'm so mean!

* This makes a whole lotta bars, so unless you have a house full of teenage boys, I would cut the recipe in half.

Do you remember

the peanut butter bars topped with chocolate that they use to serve in school lunches? I've been searching for that recipe for EVER and finally found it. They are oh so delicious and I'm a very happy girl.

The End.
