BARS ON BARS!!

hey man....
dirty graceland.
you like that?
it's the name i've got for the treats i just made.
why?
because they're peanut buttery banana blondies,
but with chocolate chunxxx, and chocolate-peanut-buttery frosting, too.
get it?
like, elvis-type sh!t?
no?
oh.
well, that's probably because you're young, or disinterested, or dumb, maybe.
i dunno.
but, they're still called dirty gracelands, bro.
so, that's that.
......
y'wanna see 'em?
ok!
check the presley-type teleport:

HOUND-DOG!!!
hmmm?
well, it was a flurrying mess of a morning,
so i added those snowflaky sprankles for site-specific seasonal propriety...
dudes!
peanut butter is expert AF.
bananas are often pretty rad (in this instance they are VERY effin' rad.)
and chocolate chunxxx? as in: the BIG ones? 
those are dope, because they're so much MORE than a tiny little chip could ever hope to be.
word up.
...
i am positively delighted by the taste and texture of these dense, spongy, luxuriously thiccc treats.
that's no joke.
i hope you make 'em,
so i'm not just listing ingredients for no good reason at all.
but, even if i am, here it is, anyway:

DIRTY GRACELANDERS!
-
preheat your oven to 375℉
-
in a medium mixin' bowl, cream up:
1/2 cup raw sugar;
1/2 cup vegan white sugar;
1 stick vegan earth balance butter;
1/2 tsp salt;
2 tsp vanilla.
next, add in, and mash:
3 bananas;
3/4 cup non-dairy yogurt;
1/2 cup sour cream;
3/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter.
-
to that, sift in:
2 1/4 cups flour;
2 tsp baking powder;
1 tsp baking soda;
1 pkg BIG choco chunxxx.
-
mix it well,
and dump it into a 9" x 13" brownie pan,
where it gets baked for 30-35 minutes, all things being equal.
when it's golden, and fluffy, and aromatically activated,
remove it from the oven, let it cool,
and then cover it with a thick spread of chocolate peanut butter sorcery!
that's 1/2 cup chocolate chips, with a tablespoon or two of non-dairy milk,
and a glop of peanut butter-
go heavier or lighter depending on how chocolaty or peanut-buttery you'd prefer your toppin'.
melt it together on low heat, and just shmear it on there.
then, freak it off with your choice of nuts, dried banana chips, or spranks,
as you see fit!
yummmmmmmmm.

i hope you like 'em.
i know i do.
***********
i find myself frozen solid, waking up to single digit fahrenheit degrees,
and wondering just who thought that NOvember has ever been any good?
i'm certainly not sad to see it go, i'll tell you what.
and december?
well,
at least it's supposed to be dark, dismal, and dreary-
that's why they put all the lights up on all the trees...
we'd all be cave-dwelling carrion-crawlers otherwise.
honestly,
december has some highlights,
but i waited alllll month for thanksgiving,
and it went by in a blur.
now it's the last few days of this grey, lame doo-doo butter,
and they're creeping along as slowly as anything ever has.
what a bummer.
time moves too quickly, and too slowly, at the same time.
it's all really happening,
with subjective perspective skewing the view.
this is it.
cold as heck,
grayer than what's left of my hair,
and totally temporally temperamental;
never quiet, never soft.....
