Alright. Two exams down and one to go.
Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement, I think I did alright on Friday. And now, to celebrate.
Different people celebrate in different ways. Some people drink. Some people go on shopping sprees. But I bake.
These Mini Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecakes were just what I needed. Sweet, easy and super delicious. The only reason I wasn’t tempted to eat these cheesecakes while I was taking pictures was because I have already been dipping into the batter while making them. Ah, the joys of baking.
I predict that I will be making a lot more sweet treats with these peanut butter cups. Why, you ask? Well, my aunt’s husband works at a chocolate factory (I know, right? Best job ever) and they always give us boxes of these things. Except they are called “Healthy Peanut Cups”. So paired with all the cream cheese and butter that I loaded these little cuties with, I think it balances out.
