Peanutbutter surprise

There are alot things that we can not get here like we can in the states. One of them is peanutbutter. They have a fresh roasted nut shop on every other corner, but no peanutbutter. Every country has there own staple food. Hummus, vegamite, yougart(that's here), salsa to name a few. Have you heard, neccessity is the mother of invention. I decided to break out the food processor and make some from scratch. Checked the internet for recipes, and went to work. It looked good for a while but it seemed to go arye when I added a little too much of something. Having determined to be a good steward and not throw out this tastey but miscongielled mixture, added a little more sugar, eggs, flour, chocolate. To top it all off, coco crispies. As the grease simmered on the top of this hopeful treat, I decided it was a definite treat to share, since I would have jumped a dress size if we kept it just for the family. Success......It was delicious. We took it to a fellowship of internationals where all the kids and adults alike gobbled it up. Boy, is my waistline grateful.
