girls night potluck

Earlier this week, I attended a Girls Night Potluck with some girls for work.  We were all supposed to bring our favorite thing or our signature dish, but I have millions of recipes pinned on Pinterest that I want to try, so I jumped on the opportunity to bake something new.  The boyfriend also needed a dessert for a work lunch this week, so I figured I'd just make a double batch. 

These chocolate peanut butter sqaures were my recipe of choice.  The recipe is from Once Upon a Chef and they were delicious!

They took longer than I anticipated, because in my small apartment life, I lack things like a food processor and a stand mixer.  I also bake over at the boyfriends a lot, so end up leaving things like mixing bowls in kitchens other than my own.  I had to get a little creative for a couple of reasons. 

1. I couldn't find the chocolate Nabisco cookies, so I used chocolate graham crackers instead. 

2. I attempted to use my blender in place of a food processor.  It worked, but it was a very slow process.

3.  I lacked sufficiently sized mixing bowls, which was a challenge.

However, they turned out DELICIOUS!  The only issue I had with them was that the bottom crust really didn't seem to set--if I do it again, I'll probably use more butter, and hope to have a KitchenAid to help!
