Holy Moly, February, and March flew by! I can’t believe it's Easter already. Where has the time gone?

Please tell me I am not the only one who seems to have misplaced time! Easter this year really came barreling in. I didn’t have nearly enough time to bake all the delicious Easter treats I was hoping to.

Luckily, I had time to sneak in this easy-peasy, peanut-buttery, chocolate-covered cracker-cookie recipe, Easter Ritz Peanut Butter Patties.

If you love Girl Scout Peanut Butter Patties (which are my favorite) then you will love, love, LOVE these! They are super simple to make for any occasion and are beyond delicious! Think chocolate and peanut butter heaven (like my favorite Easter candy)!!

I don’t want to push the cart too far ahead of the horse, but I will say this, I am working on an eBook that will be complete this summer! It’s the first in a series of books that I will be putting together.
