BUTTERFINGERY!

damn dudes.
do you like treats?
word.
me too.
and when it comes to treats, i can't say that i always have all the answers.
i mean,
they blow in on the wind, i've heard, but i frickin' HATE the wind,
so i might be missing out on some solutions that waft by....
however,
that doesn't mean i don't have ANY answers, neighbors.
and the answer to what do i want for treats today is an easy one-
chocolate peanut butter coconut butterfingered bars!!!
yeah.
no doubt about it.
that's what's reppin' the expert level eleven new hottness right about now.
check the teleport:

ALLLL THE FLAAAAAAAVORRR!!!
guys,
the cookie part is soft, and thick, and rich, and sweet, and perfectamundo.
that's no joke.
the top is soft but firm and deep and dope and de-F*ing-licious.
real talk- this one is a winner.
and here's how you can have some of your very own:
-
*
CHOCO'-PEA'B-'ONUT BARS!
-
preheat your oven to 350℉
-
in your food processor, pulverize:
1 pkg graham craxxx;
1/2 cup oats;
1/4 cup small-flake unsweetened coconut.
transfer that to a medium-sized mixin' bowl,
and add:
1/4 cup powdered sugar;
4 T cocoa powder;
1 tsp vanilla;
4 T melted vegan butter;
2-4 T non-dairy milk.
that'll stir up into a soft cookie-ish crumb crOmble,
which i think you're gonna wanna press flat into a parchment-lined 9" cake pan,
or whatever shape and equivalent you'd prefer, really.
bake it for ten minutes, and let it cool...
-
while that's doing it to itself,
get out a small pot,
and melt up 1 1/2 cups chocolate;
1 tsp vanilla;
4 T peanut butter;
4 T powdered sugar;
4 T macaroon-fine unsweetened coconut;
and 4 T non-dairy milk;
pour and spread that over that grahamy crack,
and hit it with a few coconut sprankles.
yum.
here's the thing-
that's enough of a treat for anybody, but it's not enough of a treat for somebody.
feel me?
too much is the right amount, folks.
we can't skimp out now, can we?
no way.
so,
what do we do?
we add peanut buttery creme squiggles, of course!
2 T peanut butter;
2 T vegan creamchee';
3 T powdered sugar;
3 T non-dairy milk;
melted, stirred, blended, bagged, and squeezed with ease on top of everything else.
that's expert.
that's delicious.
that's pretty.
and that's almost enough.
mmmhmmm.
a few MORE spranks,
and kaBOOM,
now you've got yourself a big win for your face.
-
i ate a LOT of this.
fast.
it's really hearty.
and it's pretty burly.
and also,
it's crazily tasty.
all the bestest and most favoritest flavors, all in one spot.
i love that.
***********
that wind is out there.
blowing some sort of sh!t-salad answers at my house.
there're clouds rollin' by, taking the color out of the morning,
and keeping the thick layer of ice on everything rock solid.
the driveway is covered in sharp shards of splash-and-freeze water hazards,
and the woodsly goodness is sure to be just as treacherous.
today's walk with crabtree promises to be as dangerous as it is tedious.
crabby is a comfort-seeking beast, first and foremost.
he wants the warmest spots, in the snuggliest blankets, by the hottest fires.
however,
he is also a sneaky, secretive probably-poisonous-morsel-scooping A*-hole.
and as a result, he is also also a hard-pooping little sourbellied jerk.
that means that we have to go outside, often,
so he can evacuate all the corridors of his interior,
and remove all the shouldn't-have-eaten-thats from within.
yeah.
in the sharp wind, on the sharp ice, through the steep hills of our homeland 'hood.
should be a hoot.
within the first six feet of outdoorsy doings, i can tell what kind of walk we're in for.
if this morning is any indication of what's to come,
it's gonna be a real bastard-F* of a trip.
i can hardly wait...but, i will;
and then,
we'll go to war with each other,
in a contest of will versus strength.
for now, i've got more of both,
which means we're going for a walk, bro-
we'll just have to see who has had a worse time
by the time the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress welcomes us back
to her chilly, but relatively less windy, hallowed hallways.
this is it.
it starts with treats,
and it ends with trials;
never quiet, never soft.....
