No-Bake Pretzel Bars

     As you may have noticed, I rarely make desserts, but every so often a quick and simple sweet treat is worth it.
    The recipe comes together very quickly thankfully.
 

Ingredients
    2 cups thin pretzel sticks
    3/4 cups of melted salted butter
    1 1/2 cups of confectioners' sugar
    1 1/4 cup of smooth peanut butter
    1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips









Directions
    1.  In a food processor, pulse pretzels until it becomes a fine crumble.
    2.  Stir together pretzels, melted butter, sugar and 1 cup of peanut butter.
    3. Evenly press mixture in an ungreased 9x9 pan.
    4. In a microwavable bowl, melt the remaining peanut butter and chocolate chips, stirring every 30 seconds.
    5. Pour chocolate over pretzel mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.


Changes I Made!
   The salt content in the pretzels made me stir clear of salted butter and use unsalted butter.


  This recipe is from Trisha's Table.

Curry, from Audrey

    This may be a surprise, but as a small town Midwest girl, I did not grow up eating curry. I don't think I ever even tried curry, until I moved to Iowa and worked a woman who lived in New York City for decades.     I was just learning how to cook, and I wanted other dishes to try and make. I asked her what I should learn how to make and without hesitating, she said curry.    So I went online to try and find a recipe, and did not care for it.    After looking at the recipe I realized it was because it had the cursed ingredient of peas in it, so I've been on a mission to find a pea less curry I like, and I found 2 recipes I wanted to try, and this is the first one I gave a shot. Ingredients     1 chicken breast     1 cup of flour     2 tbs of olive oil     1 cup of chicken broth     1 tps of mild curry     1 tps of strong curry     1 carrot, peeled and diced ...
