Happy National Peanut Butter Lover's Day!

This day almost slipped by me without any acknowledgement of National Peanut Butter Lover's Day!  I just was made aware that this day even existed, and I sure wish I had known yesterday!  I totally would have made something in honor of this day, trust me.  But maybe it's for the best in light of the fact that I am still earnestly trying to part with the extra padding I gained over the winter of no running.  Peanut butter desserts rank right up at the top for me, as long as it's combined with chocolate.  Here I go again, getting my tummy to rumble at the mere typing of things I adore.

So, I looked my way through these fabulous recipes, and thought I needed to highlight them.  Mostly for me to refer back to in the near future when I need a fix.  Like tomorrow.  I'm kidding.  Maybe.

But just look at these beautiful little things:

I mean really now.

And this is another that caught my eye and my heart.

Yeah, you caught me.  It's the same one.  But that's how much I am falling for this.  I showed Alex the recipe and he suggested doing the same thing with Oreos.  Hmmm.  And now I'm wondering about half Oreos and half Nutter Butters?  Oh, I think I may have do some experimenting...

So, be a sport.  At the very minimum, grab yourself a spoon and get yourself a lick of peanut butter.  After all, it IS National Peanut Butter Lover's Day!
