coma bars

lovebug· newlyweds· recipes

Normally my desire to eat baked goods precedes the desire to bake them.  This last week, the opposite happened.  I kept passing my mixer in the kitchen thinking that it looked lonely and needed to be put to work.  I knew my friend Hannah was coming over last night, so yesterday I started looking on Pinterest for something for us to bake.  That’s how I came across this dangerous dessert.

Brian is a total chocolate and peanut butter junkie.  When I showed him these there was pretty much no going back.  Hannah and I had lots of fun making them… except I when misread the recipe.  You make them by layering a peanut butter/ cake mix mixture with a chocolate and coconut mixture.  Well, I saw stick of butter on the recipe and put the whole stick in with the peanut butter part, not realizing that I only needed two of the eight tablespoons in that portion!  I figured “oh well, what’s a little extra butter?” and kept on going, and adjusted by adding only about three tablespoons to the chocolate part, netting only an extra 3 tablespoons of butter.  That’s not so bad.
Well, after dinner and two of these bars, this happened:
Brian and I were both falling asleep at our computers.  I’m blaming it on the butter.
Clearly I’m not too worried about it, because you better believe that after a long day at school I made a beeline for that 9 x 13.  If you’re looking for a sweet fix, I highly recommend these babies (originally called Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars.)  Just maybe use the recommended amount of butter.
