Real Mermaids Love The Holidays Tour Stop

As the holidays approach we get invited to parties, and other festive events. A large part of those events are the yummy treats you get to try.

Jade, from the Real Mermaids series is stopping by the blog today with a fantastic recipe for Peanut Butter S'more Bites!

Real Mermaids Festive Treats  

Hi everyone! Jade here from Real Mermaids. 

One of my favourite things about the upcoming holidays is the great treats we get to make and share. I love food so much, in fact, that I included a recipe for some of my favourite snacks in each of the Real Mermaids books.

My friend Cori and I thought we’d experiment a bit and ‘holiday-ize’ each recipe for you! 

In my upcoming book, Real Mermaids Don’t Need High Heels (out Feb 1st, 2013), my cutie friend Luke came up with a genius campfire treat he called Peanut Butter Cup S’mores. Here’s a cookie version my friend Rachel shared with me, which I think would be PERFECT around a crackling fireplace (indoors!).

Peanut Butter S’more Bites 

Beat together: 

- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg 

Then add: 

- 1 1/3 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt

Drop into mini muffin tins and bake for 8 minutes at 350F. Remove from oven, place 3 mini marshmallows on top and return to oven for 1 minute. Cool. Drizzle with melted chocolate and try not to lick your fingers... 

Happy treats and have a great holiday, everyone! 

Love, 

Jade

This sounds REALLY yummy and I am looking forward to making them over the holiday season.

May your holidays be filled with lots of yummy treats. Be sure to find other stops on the blog tour as there are two other recipes that you can collect - Candy Cane Covered Popcorn, and Chocolate Mug Cake.
