I have been craving peanut butter and chocolate lately so I decided to make Peanut Butter Bars and I really though it would be curve my craving but alas it did not. The peanut butter filling was really way to crunchy for me. But my co workers loved it though.

Unfortunately they all think I am making them fat by bringing my "Sweet Fridays" so not I am not sure what to do. I have been baking ever Friday for almost a year now. Do I continue making my sweets? Or do I stop and say a year is enough.

3 Stars only because it did not satisfy my love for peanut butter.
AWWWW how I love Peanut Butter.

OK so I realized if I don't start posting my Sweet Friday delights then I will never catch up in how far behind I am in posting. So.......
This week I made Plum Cofouti. If you have never heard of that, then don't feel bad because neither had I. One of the things I like about allrecipies.com is that is gives you an option to enter just one ingredient and then it gives you every recipe with that ingredient. This week I entered in Plums and this is one of the ones that came up.

I was a little unsure when it said it was a "custard" like desert. But when I mentioned it to a room full of French people they went crazy. I guess because this is more of a European desert then American. But either way it was super easy to make, and no mater what continent you are from, easy is a good thing.

As I said I was a bit unsure. But when I tasted it then I realized it was pretty good. Not very sweet but the fruit really helps. And my co-workers said that in France they make it with cherries and raspberries instead of plums. They didn't even know what a plum was. A very funny conversation if you were there.


This whole dish was gone by the end of the day. So I had fun making a recipe I had never tried before and I think it brought my co-workers just a little but closer to home. Who can ask more then that.

4 1/2 stars.
