Peanut Butter Trifle

I made this for a baby shower last week and got several requests for the recipe - so since I had to type it out any way I figured I might as well post it. It is good - so good!

Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle

1 fudge brownie mix (9x13 pan)

1 pkg. 10 oz peanut butter chips

2 pkg miniature peanut butter cups

4 cup cold 2% milk

2 pkg (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding

1 cup creamy peanut butter

4 tsp vanilla extract

3 cartons (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Prepare brownie batter according to instructions; stir in PB chips. Bake in greased 9x13 pan at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Cool on wire rack – cut into ¾ inch pieces.

Cut PB cups in half; set aside 1/3 for garnish. In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes. Let stand 2 minutes or until soft set. Add PB and vanilla; mix well. Fold in 1 ½ cartons of whipped topping.

Place 1/3 brownies in a 5qt. glass bowl; top with 1/3 remaining PB cups. Spoon 1/3 pudding mixture over top. Repeat layer 2x. Cover with remaining whipped topping; garnish with reserved PB cups. Refrigerate until chilled.

Birdies

These are ridiculously cute, especially for a baby shower.

The mobiles on her site are really cute too, reminds me of the kind you made Ame.

Cute Halloween party in April

My friend michelle threw this party for Grant for his birthday last month - it was so cute and fun.

Some new stuff

I made this apron for Michaela as a graduation gift. I didn't want to give it to her. And I did pleats for the first time! Gladys showed me a neat easy trick for them.

Here are some coasters I made Gladys for her birthday.

Easter Eggs

Finally some cute easter decor ----for next year. Remind me.

Easter Bunnies

While mom was here I decided we needed to make some bunnies for the babies that will be born between now and next easter. Here is a purple one I just finished (mostly by myself)!

Mom made the blue one and I made the pink one with her help. I have a couple more cut out that I just need to sew.

Paper flowers

I remember making these as a kid - but these are almost sophisticated (like). Here is the tutorial.
