.jpg) I like Peanut Butter . . . in Cookies, Candy and licking it off a spoon. I don’t like Peanut Butter . . . on bread. Peanut Butter Chocolate Kiss Cookies are even better! I like this recipe. It’s a cross between chewy & shortbread. Did you know according to the National Peanut Board that …. .jpg) Summer. I have a love, hate relationship with you. You trick us with sunshine but crowd our days with busy . . . ness. Hah. I snuck cookies in today! So there! I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for quite a while now. This sweet recipe comes from King Arthur Flour, and what… 
This is a good way to use up the can of almond paste my husband brought home and I have no clue what to do with. Do these freeze well (or at all)? Thanks.July 13, 2012 – 5:57 pm 
Wow, these look amazing! I just pinned the recipe and can’t wait to try them!May 20, 2012 – 7:37 am 
Hi Lisa I was the same way….I did one tray without the finger press, and they weren’t near as pretty as the ones I pressed! 
These look so good I seriously am going to the store as soon as my little ones get up so i can buy almond paste to make these.May 18, 2012 – 6:51 am 
These look divine! I love your instruction “just do it”, I was wondering why press your fingers in the cookies! Will have to try these beauties! 
Yum!! These sound so awesome!May 18, 2012 – 3:23 am 
I love the sound of all that almond paste in a cookie – quite different.May 18, 2012 – 1:05 am 
You had me at “Almond” and “Cloud”. Yum!!!May 17, 2012 – 8:32 pm .jpg) It’s Mother’s Day Sunday. Whoopee! My Mom and I think . . . it’s quite over-rated. The two of us are quite alike. We aren’t the flower type, or the jewelry type, unless it a big fat diamond. I think I’d rather have a new pair of jeans or shoes or money honey! Laughing. Not…
Thanks Lori! 
I made these for Mother’s Day in blackberry and cherry…they were amazing and loved by everyone.May 17, 2012 – 11:09 am 
What a fun post. I have some puff pastry in the freezer–instant gratification. 
How beautiful! Love the blossoms. I love when making these look cute is easy!May 14, 2012 – 4:27 pm 
That’s such a cute idea for a party!May 14, 2012 – 10:14 am
I’ve used jam before, and it tastes great! 
What a great, simple idea…very tasty too!! Could it be adapted with jam? AxxMay 13, 2012 – 3:18 am
These look super pretty and so easy to make.May 13, 2012 – 2:38 am
This is so pretty! I love it!May 12, 2012 – 12:45 pm .jpg) Of all the posts I’ve ever done . . . I’m most excited about this one. My search for the PERFECT pizza crust is now over! I’m serious now. I’ve probably tried at least 100 different pizza crust recipes. Some were good . . . some were bad . . . but none were worth… 
Can’t wait to make this next week!!!!December 22, 2012 – 11:36 am 
It worked! Thank you Jonna! The dough is rising, slowly but surely. You are a life saver. I love your blogs. Your writing is whimsical and the instructions are very thorough. Please keep up with the blogging.October 7, 2012 – 6:24 pm 
Hi Ann, With todays yeast, you should still be o.k…BUT it will take much longer for your yeast to work! JonnaOctober 7, 2012 – 4:09 pm
Help, Jonna! I used regular cold filtered tap water to make this batch! Did I fail by not using 100-105 degrees water? 
I’ve made this a half-dozen times for my family already – WE LOVE IT. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! An extra tip that may help you. I rarely get it made 18 hours in advance, or even a whole day, so I increase the amount of yeast accordingly so it will rise in time for me to prepare it. If I just have a few hours till dinner, I’ll put in up to 1 tsp of yeast, and it turns out great. I also prepare the crust and put it on a sheet of aluminum foil sprayed with non-stick spray or parchment paper. Then when I want to bake it I can transfer it back and forth from my counter and the oven pretty easily.June 30, 2012 – 10:53 am 
If you don’t have a pizza peel, covering the bottom of a cookie sheet with cornmeal also works, but I use parchment paper instead. This recipe is very similar to the Artisan Bread I make all the time – can’t wait to try it!May 17, 2012 – 11:17 am
Just very warm tap water. The same as you would use for any yeast recipe. 
Can’t wait to try this…quick question. What temp. of water did you use? Thanks!May 11, 2012 – 10:13 am 
I have this same recipe to make a loaf of ciabatta bread! It’s my favorite bread to make! So easy and so airy! I top my bread dough with olive oil and spices before baking! I’m craving it just thinking about it! It’s called ‘No Knead Bread’…I’ve also seen it called ‘One Minute Bread’.May 9, 2012 – 6:03 pm 
I’m loving your recipes and your blogs! Made the cheesy potatoes to go with steaks tonight and I’m hooked. I’ll be back to stalk more later…May 8, 2012 – 8:25 pm
I’m really glad you went to the trouble to test all these pizza dough recipes, because I’m not sure I would have had the patience for it! This one sounds perfect, I can’t wait to try it!May 7, 2012 – 5:09 pm
Hi Karen, This also works well, because I’ve already put it to the test: 
Is there anyway to shorten the rising time. I would either forget that I made it or forget to make it?May 7, 2012 – 7:21 am
I love how easy this is!! Yum!May 7, 2012 – 5:33 am 
Jonna, this looks so good! Thanks for another great recipe! Hopefully, my pizza crust search will be over now too! Feel free to link up this recipe to my Melt in Your Mouth Monday Blog Hop! http://www.makeaheadmealsforbusymoms.com/melt-in-your-mouth-monday-blog-hop-64/May 7, 2012 – 5:26 am  I have a problem. I buy too many Cookbooks & print off far too many recipes. I really don’t collect anything else but my Cookbook shelves have expanded . . . to non designated Cookbook shelves! One of my favorite books is Down Home with the Neely’s, and I’ve made many of their recipes. They’re… 
WOW I loved this dip!! I made it to bring to my sisters house and everyone loved it so much now I have to bring it to Easter!!March 26, 2013 – 2:17 pm 
what types of cheese is in the 4 cheese blend?October 17, 2012 – 3:57 pm 
This looks incredibly delicious. I doubt this dip would last very long in my house 
Wow, this looks like a great version of one of my favorite dips!October 6, 2012 – 7:53 am 
Chopping up the spinach into small pieces worked just fine!August 31, 2012 – 5:26 pm
Hi Amanda,
This may be a ridiculous question, but if I use fresh spinach leaves, do I cook them down first or will they cook down enough while it simmers? Thanks for these yummy recipes!August 25, 2012 – 12:41 pm 
Made this recipe tonight for a party and everyone loved it. I also broke apart French bread to dip as well. Thanks,June 9, 2012 – 10:59 pm 
First of all, I have tried 40+ recipes off your site and I have honestly LOVED every single one! I am so glad you have this site and I look forward to your posts. I am especially glad you posted this one! This is one of my favorite appetizers and I didn’t think it would be this easy to make. I did have one question though, I have never cooked anything with artichokes before but in my bountiful baskets this week, I got some artichokes. Have you ever made this with fresh ones and if not, do you think it would work the same?May 6, 2012 – 12:15 pm

Hi Mary, 
Well, I like Artichokes and spinach so it looks speeeeetacualar! It went into my recipe box immediately and added needed items to the grocery list. I love the fire roasted chopped tomatoes with peppers, would this mess up the recipe? They seem to add that little extra touch to several recipes that I use them in. What do you think? Thanks for such a great recipe!May 2, 2012 – 10:44 am
Oh, wow! I absolutely love this stuff, but I’ve never made it at home! It’s usually a good excuse to go out. I might have to try it, now that I’ve seen this. I bet my friends would be impressed, if I had them over and served them this dip!!May 2, 2012 – 10:16 am
OMG Jonna…this looks SO GOOD! Love all of your photos!May 2, 2012 – 4:46 am 
Yes love te Neely’s as well and love a good dip! Several years ago I had given all my cookbooks to my Daughter except a few but for some reason my shelves are full again *_*May 2, 2012 – 3:36 am
Mmm my favorite dip! Yum!May 1, 2012 – 7:25 pm .jpg) Sometimes the simple things are the best things. For example . . . I love Marshmallow Rice Crispy Treats. My kids love the Peanut Butter Variety. Both are really simple but delicious. A long long time ago, I posted the Scotcharoo recipe, but decided I would shake things up today. I figured . . …. 
Oh how creative! Love this.May 1, 2012 – 1:45 pm
These are so fun! Awesome idea!May 1, 2012 – 5:10 am 
Wow, these look WONDERFUL!May 1, 2012 – 2:59 am
These look so good, I have printed out the recipe and will make them in the weekend.May 1, 2012 – 12:51 am  O.k. . . . just wondering, How many of you have read . . . Shades of Grey? I haven’t. Honestly . . . I haven’t. This blog can’t compete with that! Trust me, this will be much sweeter. I think . . . you should make this Caramel Marshmallow popcorn BEFORE you read those… 
Finally! This sounds awesome Thanks a bunch, I’ll make this for my brother tomorrow xoxoxDecember 28, 2012 – 6:09 am
I haven’t read it either. I’ve had enough fiction for one month. (Call me weird, I just really prefer non-fiction.) 
I started reading the books to see what the hoopla was about… gotta say, everyone who has been making fun of how badly the Twilight books are written? Yeah, they need to focus a little of that over on these books… however, they are quite steamy *fan fan fan*. I’ll probably finish just to see how it ends up (and because it’s super super simply written so it won’t take me but an afternoon)…but yeah, I don’t really get why it’s SOOOOOOOO popular. (Says the Twilight/Harry Potter fangirl… *laugh*)April 26, 2012 – 9:02 pm 
I haven’t read it. Have no interest in it. Heard it has a lot of S&M in it. Not my style at all. Did you see how Ellen DeGeneres made fun of it today on her show? Or was it yesterday? Anyway, haven’t read it and won’t. The popcorn looks amazing. I have to make it. Thanks for sharing.April 26, 2012 – 7:54 pm
This sounds absolutely heavenly! Yum!April 26, 2012 – 5:52 pm .jpg) This is one of my favorite meals. It’s restaurant quality good. It’s also super easy to make. It doesn’t take a good picture though! Maybe you should see it before it’s all dished up! You will just have to take my word on this one. One of my MOST popular posts is the Creamy…
Hi Kathy, You comment made me laugh, and made my day! JonnaApril 13, 2013 – 7:15 pm 
I made this recipe last week for my husband and mother-in-law. It was fabulous!! For the first time in 27 years, babci actually asked me for a recipe!!April 13, 2013 – 7:08 pm
Hi Lea, Thank you so much for leaving a comment! 
I just made this tonight. This is one of the best recipes I’ve tried in a very long time. Everyone in my family absolutely loved this one!February 17, 2013 – 7:15 pm
Hi Clare, I’m not sure what you mean by “use single?” JonnaFebruary 1, 2013 – 2:52 pm 
could you use single instead of whipping cream?February 1, 2013 – 4:54 am 
Instead of the sliced potatoes I used a bag of frozen shredded hash browns to save time and it came out perfect cooked at the same time and temp.! Very tasty and I’ll be making this again! Thanks!July 24, 2012 – 9:15 pm 
Okay….why does moving it to a lower rack make the potatoes brown? I have a feeling that the answer to this is going to change some things at my house……. And this looks amazing and my hubby will totally love it!June 23, 2012 – 7:07 pm 
This dish is the Bomb!June 23, 2012 – 3:39 pm 
I have made this many times after finding it on your blog. I love it! I was telling my boyfriend about it, guess Im going to have to try it wil bacon now. I cant wait! You have so many amazing recipes. Keep posting! He just moved out and would probably burn water if he had to cook!May 29, 2012 – 4:59 pm
Hi Elizabeth, 
How many people would you say it could serve? Would it be a full breast per person?May 23, 2012 – 10:29 pm
Hi Marion, 
Your recipes look great! Love the dishes in this photo. Care to share where they were purchased or through what company? Thanks!May 10, 2012 – 1:05 pm 
AMAZING! I made this for the picky boyfriend last night (My odds of pleasing his taste buds is about 1-50, seriously) This recipe rocked our world last night! Along with a ton of compliments, I recieved a back rub! I wouldn’t change anything about this recipe, unless you felt a need to add some sweet corn into it, but either way this is a hit! (and easy to make, I just bought pre-cooked bacon to speed up the process) Thank you for such a great and easy recipe!DanMyMan thanks you too!May 2, 2012 – 7:12 am
Thanks Kathy!April 29, 2012 – 8:54 pm 
I would just like to congratulate you on having the best cooking instructions I’ve ever seen on a website, well done!! I’m going to make this recipe tonight!April 29, 2012 – 7:11 pm 
made it with half cream and half skim milk, it was super delicious. i found one of those mandolin slicer things with the adjustments that cut the potatoes perfectly. $8.00 at TJ MAxx. i almost mixed in some broccoli, it was REALLY yummy. thanks for yet another wonderful recipe.April 23, 2012 – 7:23 pm
Hi Kiah, I probably wouldn’t use all milk, but you could do half milk and half cream. You could also use
Can you substitute milk for the heavy cream?April 20, 2012 – 4:36 pm 
I was just thinking how amazing that first photo looked, then saw your comment about it not photographing well. I think it looks beautiful! Like, need to get in my belly right now-beautiful!! I always have probs photographing casseroles and potatoes but man this is gorgeous.April 20, 2012 – 8:39 am
It is a vegetable cutter with an adjustable blade, so that you can make different widths. I use it to make Homemade potato chips, french fries, etc…you can slice very thick or very very thin! http://www.lehmans.com/store/Kitchen___Helpers_and_Accessories___Utensils_and_Tools___Feemster_rsquo_s_Famous_Vegetable_Slicer___622900?Args=&customField1=W9April 19, 2012 – 5:41 pm 
This looks delicious! Can you explain that corn cutter thingy? I googled unsuccessfully. By the way, you posted those potatoes exactly two years ago. Freaky. Or maybe you planned it.April 19, 2012 – 5:03 pm
Oh my goodness this looks so amazing. And I’m so hungry!April 19, 2012 – 3:06 pm .jpg) Today . . . I’m going to show you how to make a very complicated, time consuming cookie. You might even mistake it for a Candy Bar. I’m just pulling your leg. It’s square – and tastes like an Almond Joy – and it’s the easiest recipe you will ever make! I think these Macaroons… 
These sound great I already bought the items to make it today,and already have the square pan.Thanks for the idea.December 13, 2012 – 4:22 pm
Hi Amy, The recipe as posted is the original recipe on Baker’s Coconut package. If you would like the consistency to be a bit different….add one EGG WHITE only to the recipe. JonnaDecember 13, 2012 – 12:10 pm 
This recipe needs an egg to keep it all together. Great idea but it made a mess!December 12, 2012 – 9:07 pm 
This looks so yummy! I can not wait til morning so I can go to the store and buy the ingredients to make this recipe. Love your Blog.September 24, 2012 – 8:51 pm
Oh Steph…..you should not have thrown them away. Mine spread as well….once they are golden brown, remove them from the oven, and with a heat proof spatula, you simply press that golden goodness back into the center. Let them cool and I promise they are wonderful, chewy & one of our favorite cookies. JonnaApril 24, 2012 – 4:49 pm 
Man, I wanted to LOVE these, but they were a complete fail. I mixed, scooped & baked. The centers were not cooked, the sweetened condensed milk spread all over the pan… it was a mess! 
This is my 1st visit to your blog. Everything looks delicious… I will definitely be back! I love Almond Joys so u caught my attention with these!April 17, 2012 – 8:10 pm 
Okay GIRL – you out-did yourself with this recipe! This just happens to be my FAVORITE thing EVER, EVER, EVER! Thanks for sharing – this will DEFINITELY BE MY DOWN-FALL . . . but I still LOVE you!!!!!! YOU ROCK!April 17, 2012 – 7:41 pm
Hey Bran, 
MMMMMMM I can smell those cooking right now! I don’t know why I never think of making these when I am making cookies. They are seriously so good, easy, fast and perfect! I might just have to whip me up some. Did they come out of the square pan easily? Or is it a pain? Looks delicious. They will always remind me of Dad!April 17, 2012 – 6:35 pm 
Love what you did with these!April 17, 2012 – 6:26 pm
Almond Joys are my favorite! I can’t get them up here, so I have to get my sister to send them to me. I canNOT wait to make these!! Thanks!!!April 17, 2012 – 5:50 pm 
I have that kind of pan and have made those macaroons (minus the delicious almonds), but never thought of making them in the pan. Cool idea!April 17, 2012 – 5:32 pm  Bananas ripen too quickly. Therefore . . . I can’t just peel . . . and eat. I much prefer a slightly green skin. There’s only one thing left to do. This . . . . . . and this and this. I actually doubled the recipe and made 2 small loaves of Banana Bread… 
These cupcakes are absolutely amazing! I’m delighted with them! I’ve featured this recipes on my blog! I hope you don’t mind! If you don’t agree with that please contact me and I will remove it. All the best.October 29, 2012 – 1:18 pm 
Wow! This recipe totally rocks!!! So delicious and yummy to the tummy…making the “BANANA BLING” recipe tomorrow! Thanks again for the awesome recipe!!! Smiles to you MichelleAugust 6, 2012 – 8:27 pm
Wow! These look so much better than the ones I made last weekend and put on my blog. They were my first attempt ever at cupcakes but you are obviously well-seasoned in the cupcake arena. I like the idea of using up aged bananas this way. I also like them semi-green.April 13, 2012 – 3:00 am
What a fabulous idea! I need some more bananas!April 12, 2012 – 2:47 pm |

Sheila - Going to try these with my Granddaughter. She has just discovered peanut butter (it’s not used so much here in the UK but still popular)November 15, 2012 – 10:41 am
CJ at Food Stories - Thx for connecting with me on foodbuzz. I just subscribed to your blog feed and can’t wait to see what your next post will be!May 21, 2012 – 3:41 pm
christina pyburn - looks yummyMay 20, 2012 – 1:49 pm
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar - These have always been one of my favorite cookies. Yum!May 20, 2012 – 5:31 am
Suzanne Perazzini - I’m the same. Put it in cupcakes or cookies and I will lap it up but never on bread. It’s the same with coffee. I can’t drink it at all – hate the flavor but put it in a cake or dessert and it’s delightful.May 20, 2012 – 3:06 am
janine (sugarkissed.net) - I have a hubby who loves all things peanut butter… these sound right up his alley!May 19, 2012 – 6:24 pm
