Fudgy Buttons- so easy

I have this obsession over cookbooks, as most of you know! I LOVE the Taste of Home cookbooks the most! But the Quick Cooking ones are the best. So several years ago I started getting one in the mail each year, then a friend of mines grandma died and she gave me a bunch of hers(ones from previous years, that I didn't have). So since I love them so much I got online(amazon.com) and ordered the only one that I didn't have(1999).
I got it in the mail today, that was so exciting! :) Totally made my day!! :) And eating at Bajios!
So here is a new recipe, SO easy. maybe it had a little too much peanut butter in it, I didn't really measure very well because I had doubled the recipe and our measuring spoon is really flimsy so I had a hard time scrapping it out of the jar.

Fudgy Buttons
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1- 1/2 tsp baking cocoa
1/2 confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp milk
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter

In a small sauce pan, melt butter: remove from heat. Add cocoa and mix well. Stir in sugar. Add milk and stir till smooth. Add peanut butter and mix well. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper: flatten tops and shape into 1-inch patties. Makes about 1-1/2 dozen.

I had it made and done in less than 15 minutes. When I got the peanut butter mixed in enough to handle I kneaded it to blend it better. It was a little warm, but not too much! It melted in my mouth. SO YUMMY! Rich, but yummy! I wish I had a picture of them.

So life has been crazy! Yes, Edwin and I did break up. Work got so busy. but then it slowed down a little, but there is another area that is really busy, so they take all of our people that are cross trained and that leaves a few people to stay in my area. So they hired temps to be trained so when we supposedly get "really busy" we won't fall behind. I'm hoping that we get so busy that we are getting our hours for a couple of months. I need to get some bills paid for. I have plans that I really want to follow through with, but I need to get my jeep paid for soon. Oh-well! And I need new back tires. Being an adult sucks! :p

Sounds yum! Being an adult isn't much fun some days is it? I hope you can get your hours too!

That does look yummy! Comfort food! Good luck with everything. I hope that things start to work out. I agree with Jessie, being an adult isn't always all it's cracked up to be... Love you!
