These classic Chocolate Peanut
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Bars
My oldest son, Lincoln, and I are so much alike, it’s scary. He may look like his daddy, but obviously we spent way too much time together when he was young!
There really are too many to list all of them, but for instance:
- We have to wear socks. Hanging out in the house, sleeping, socks on, always!
- We don’t mind being alone. We can hang out all day in the house, rarely talk. In high contrast to my second son, who has to be entertained or at least talk to you 98% of the time
much like Big Daddy. - We’re kind of shy. I’ve grown out of my shyness somewhat, but I still struggle sometimes. Lincoln totally doesn’t like random strangers. My second son and my husband have never met a stranger!
- We both chose peanut
butter to take with us to the deserted island. Yeah, I don’t know, we do these ‘what if’ games all the time! - I could live off these Chocolate Peanut
Butter Cereal Bars. He could too!
When it came to making a dessert with peanut
I’m thankful I started the boys early cooking with me. Lincoln has been helping me, literally, since he could stand. We made cookies back then. Now, he can do everything himself. He even grills!
