At least according to my husband. Of all the cookies, cupcakes, muffins, breads, truffles, cakes, snacks and candies I make, this is the only item my husband loves.

Seriously - if the end of the world happens when I'm away somewhere camping, my family will survive for at least 3 months just… Continue reading Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
