Today on Man Bait… I’m going with a very special dessert. Why? Because I haven’t yet and because I promised one of the other bloggers (after he kicked my ass in fantasy 2 weeks ago)…. yes, Ru that I would do a recipe involving his favorite chocolate snack, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. This actually works out perfectly because he’s expecting his first kid any day now, so I’m dedicating this weeks Man Bait recipe to @BrandedRu.
Ru and I have agreed and disagreed on many things. We like to break each other’s chops on the regular. However, one thing that has bonded Ru and I which we have actually had private text chats about is…..that the best possible dessert food combination is Peanut Butter and Chocolate.
I could literally sit on my couch and eat an entire bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups and feel zero guilt, just pure happiness. So today I am sharing with you the ultimate Reeses dessert….
