To bring more awareness to breast cancer this October, ABCD Diaries is participating in a Bake-Off with 19 other blogs. The Bake for the Cure Bakeoff is sponsored by ACH products.The premise is simple: using ACH ingredients (Argo Corn Starch, Karo Corn Syrup, Fleishmann’s Yeast), prepare two recipes per week (Oct. 4 – 20) and post photos of the finished product.So, each week we will be posting 2 recipes, one from the Bake for the Cure Cookbook and one personal favorite. The blogger with the most comments on their recipe posts wins $500, which would truly be a blessing for our family:)
This is another recipe from the ACH cookbook. Definitely good for one of those sweet tooth cravings:)

These were easy to make and quick. They reminded me of the Magic Bars my grandma used to make:) They are SUPER SWEET! We used the crunchy peanut butter in place of the smooth and we really enjoyed the extra crunch. If you are looking for a sweet treat, this is the one for you:)
If you have any ideas on how to spruce this recipe up a bit, your favorite muffin recipe or you just want to help us win the bake off, please leave a comment! Thanks so much and if you try this recipe I hope your family enjoys it as much as ours does:)

ReplyDeleteOk my mouth is watering just looking at the picture of these!! Yum
ReplyDeletethat looks really yummy!! I think adding walnuts to pretty much anything tastes good or m&ms!!!
ReplyDeleteIs there really anything better than chocolate and peanut butter? My two favourites in a new recipe - this could be heaven!
ReplyDeletenot usually a pb/choc fan but these could be good!
ReplyDeleteThese sound soooo good!
ReplyDeleteI would use the crunchy peanut butter too because I think I'd like the texture better.
ReplyDeleteOoey and Gooey...it can't get any better than that. These sound great!
ReplyDeleteWow, chocolate, peanut butter and coconut, it can't get much better than that.

Chocolate and peanut butter are a GREAT mix!
ReplyDeleteAnything chocolatey and peanut buttery is my guilty pleasure. :)

ReplyDeleteWow! These look rich and yummy!
ReplyDeletetimbow54 at hotmail
these look great!!! all those different flavors. My stomach is growling, just reading the recipe and looking at the pictures!
ReplyDeleteYumm - I printed this out! I'll leave out the coconut or my family won't touch them, but it looks great, otherwise.
ReplyDeleteEmail address is in blogger profile
MMMmmmmm....these look delicious! I would have to eliminate coconut, or my hubby wouldn't touch them...other than that, they sound awesome!
ReplyDeleteI like to use crunchy peanut butter in my baking too. If this wasn't already so sweet I'd tell you we like to use the honey roasted peanut butter. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, how yummy! I'd love to make my own at home for the kids. I would probably use crunchy peanut butter like dddiva.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you had any left to take a picture - they sound so good I have to make some now
ReplyDeleteThis is a good snack when Iam out working.
ReplyDeletePeanut butter and chocolate are my favorite combination.
ReplyDeleteThese bars have an interesting mix of ingredients and if they are really like magic bars then I'll have to try them cause those are my fave!
ReplyDeletejustine417@comcast.net
I don't like peanut butter but everybody else here does, so I'll have to try it!
ReplyDeleteMy baby sister would really dig these...heavensent1@yahoo dotcom
ReplyDeleteYum, chocolate and peanut butter! Whats not to love?
ReplyDeletelooks so yummy and sounds easy to make! I would probably have to double this recipe. lol Thanks! jacquecurl1(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a good one for Christmas Gifts! Thank for the recipe- looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteorangeaugust at yahoo dot com
I'm loving this recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great addition to my Christmas Cookie recipe collection.
ReplyDeleteThese would be perfect as Christmas gifts!
ReplyDeleteThere's something about the change in the weather that makes me just HAVE to bake. I make chocolate peanut butter cupcakes & I drizzle chocolate ganache on them. That would make these look EXTRA fancy if you were going to give them as a holiday gift!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good! I just added the ingredients I need to our shopping list. I'm making it this weekend. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYummy. The only change I'd make for mine would be to not use the coconut since I don't like it. But I did read something lately where the author recommended chopping the coconut in the food processor to make really small pieces.
