There was a bake sale at my work last week to raise money for the AIDS walk. I am pretty much always open to any excuse to bake, and it was for a good cause, so I signed up to make cookies.

I thought about making peanut butter temptations or fiddle diddles, but I felt like making something new, and I was feeling very lazy so I knew it had to be easy. I found this recipe and decided to try it out, even though I’m not gluten free.

These were super good. They were pretty simple, peanut butter, sugar, chocolate chips, what’s not to like? And they were really delicious. The cooking time was off for me, I had to leave them in almost twice as long as it said to, but I just watched them pretty carefully and they came out great.

One of my co-workers is gluten free and she loved them, and everyone else that tried them thought they were delicious, and didn’t even know they were gluten free. I will definitely be making these again.

My first year living in Hawaii, I was introduced to the South Shore Grill by my boyfriend at the time. The relationship didn’t last, but SSG and I have been an item ever since. One of the best things they have there (although everything is delicious) are their desserts, especially their peanut butter temptations.

Now that I’m not living on the island, I don’t get these delicious treats every week, and it’s quite sad. When I went back to Hawaii in January we took my mom to SSG so that she too might know the joys that are peanut butter temptations. I’d never even thought about trying to make them myself, since I couldn’t fathom the wizardry that would be necessary to get the Reece’s into the cookies without baking them into a melty disaster.

My mother took one look at the cookies and declared “They probably just push the peanut butter cups in right when they come out of the oven.” I’m pretty sure that’s why we have parents, for exactly such moments as those.

I was able to find a recipe, and made them last week and they were amazingly delicious, and so simple to make (literally 15 minutes from when I started to when I took the first bite) that I was kind of embarrassed I’d never thought to make them before.
