Photo from Cook Yourself Thin
I have found heaven on earth, in the form of "Cook Yourself Thin" peanut butter dream bars. The bars are surprisingly easy to make and absolutely delicious. I purchased this "Cook Yourself Thin" cookbook in the effort to drop a dress size while still eating the foods I love; which is the motto of the book. One of the only problems I encountered while making this delectable dessert, after of course checking the ingredients list and purchasing the lacking items. Naturally, I did not read how to make these bars so when it came time to use an electric mixer, which of course, I don't own, I came to the realization that I would have to whip the cream cheese myself. I bought the silly book because it advertised simple, low calorie recipes and so I assumed that I would not need any real kitchen tools, wow was I wrong. Instead of the 7 minutes on high power it would have taken me to mix the ingredients, I had to whip them myself. It was then I realized how spoiled technological gadgets have made me. But besides this mishap, the dream bars were delicious, and were (mostly) made with ingredients that I found in my cabinet and fridge already. So wish me luck cooking myself thin!
Pros: Delicious dessert, simple to make, low in calories
Cons: Lack of pre-reading before attempting to make the bars, lack of electric mixer, soreness from hand whipping ingredients
