Peanut Butter Bars

Yesterday we posted a really great "MixSational" fragrance we call "Melt in Your Mouth Peanut Butter Bars" because it smells just like Peanut Butter Bars that are to die for, by mixing 1 cube of Oatmeal Cookie with one cube of Peanut Brittle. Sooooo Good!

In response we had lots of people asking for the Peanut Butter Bar recipe we mentioned, so here it is, these Peanut Butter Bars are sooooo good! (they make a great weekend treat hint hint!):

Melt in Your Mouth Peanut Butter Bars

Cream Together:

1 c. margarine or butter. (I recommend Imperial Margarine)
1 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla (I recommend Molina brand Mexican vanilla, it's stronger than most extracts and
has a really rich vanilla flavor).
1 generous cup chunky or creamy peanut butter (I usually use creamy)

Mix together dry ingredients and add to wet:

2 c. flour
1 t. soda
1 t. salt
2 c. quick oats

Batter should be stiff (it wasn't really all that stiff, slightly less stiff than Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie dough. It's also REALLY tasty, I'm a dough eater, and proud of it!) Spread in ungreased 9x13 pan.
Bake @ 350 degrees for 15-20 min. (Best if slightly under baked/edges should be slightly brown, though.)

While still warm spread with chocolate frosting:

1 c. sugar
1/4 c. butter
1/3 c. milk

Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for one minute. Remove from heat and add:

1 t. vanilla
6-8 oz. chocolate chips

Stir frosting until it thickens (this sometimes takes a while.) Spread frosting over peanut butter squares.

Beware! These are addictive! If you are currently trying to watch your weight, it is best to just get an Oatmeal Cookie and a Peanut Brittle wax fragrance from ScentSationals.com and enjoy the aroma calorie free! :)

We would love to hear about your adventure making this recipe and melting this new MixSational, so write back and leave comments for us to enjoy! You can follow our Blog by clicking the "follow" button in the right-hand sidebar.

Daddy's Little...

My dad is a teacher and the other day, I stopped by his office. He wasn't in at the moment, so seeing an opportunity, I pulled out a textbook and studied for a minute. My dad came rushing in after a meeting.

"Wooee, something smells good in here!" he said, and at my protesting, he winked. "Who needs a Warmer when I can just have YOU sit here and make the whole place smell like a pecan pie!"

Guess that means I'm Daddy's little Warmer!

Which Warmer? Which Warmer?

With school rolling, naturally, I spend a lot of time doing homework, and since I don't have a desk, my papers, notes, assignments, books, pens, pencils, (you get the idea), are scattered all over the Living Room floor. It's a nightmare, and one that won't go away because I'm always going to be having homework. Bottom line: I need a place dedicated just for homework purposes.

My hubster must've been getting annoyed with my seeming sloppiness and said, "Hun, why don't we get you a desk after work tomorrow?" In our small apartment, there isn't much room for extra furniture. We have barely enough room for the furniture we already have, (we do have a spare room but it's so full of stuff that there's no room for anything else!) so I asked where we could possibly fit a desk. My love pointed at the space of blank wall between the front door and the coat closet, a space we had previously left empty for a walkway/entryway.

It really would be perfect! ... With one small problem: my sloppy desk would be the first thing anyone saw when they walked through the front door! This won't do! So I thought on it for a while, as I finished up some homework last night. Then it hit me! Why don't I decorate the edge closest to the door, sort of a distraction, masking the desk as a decorative entryway table that could only be recognized as a desk if someone came further into the room (first impressions are what matter, right?) But what to decorate it with? It would have to be seasonal and trendy, catchy enough to distract from the piles of homework that will be accounting for every other inch of the desktop.

I've got it! ScentSationals has seasonal Warmers, available online at www.ScentSationals.com! If I use a Warmer on the table it just might do the trick! But which Warmer? Which Warmer?

The Harvest is gorgeous with it's orange and burgandy leaf-tray and wreathed with leaves, grape clusters, pumkins, corn-on-the-cob, and other fall parefenalia. The Pumpkin Patch Warmer has the same leaf-tray in a green, and a ribbed, pumpkin shape in the classic orange, trimmed with vines. For the Holiday Season, there's the Snowman Hearth, Frosty to a tee, with his carrot nose, high silk hat, and two eyes dark as coal. Or there's the Santa Hearth, his cheeks rosy, his eyes twinkling, and a fantasitc mustache and beard.

I think, out of the two Fall Warmers, the Pumpkin Warmer will fit my decor better (online at www.ScentSationals.com; only $14.99 for the month of September), and I can't resist the Santa Hearth Warmer for the Holiday season. I'll use them as the centerpeice of the arrangement, maybe with a little foliage and other small decor, and put in fragrances like Pumpkin Spice and Fresh-Cut Pine. Not only will people get a waft of delicious fragrance when we open the door, but they'll see a cute display instead of a schlew of papers and such. I love it!

School "Scents"

School has started back up, and lately, as we've started pouring Harvest and Holiday fragrances here at ScentSationals, I've gotten all sorts of comments from fellow bus-riders, fellow students, even a teacher or two! Here's a little poem to give you the main idea:

School "Scents"

"Someone smells yummy!" says a girl in math.
"It must be some new purfume from Body and Bath."
I chuckle to myself, and say with a smile,
"Nope, guess again. It might take you a while."
Others join in: "I smell warm cookies, fresh from the stove!"
(Oatmeal Cookie)
"Well, I smell something tangy, with a hint of clove!"
(Orange Clove/Cranberry Clove)
"I smell a Christmas Tree, either fir or pine."
(Fresh Cut Pine)
"Well, I smell cinnamon. It's a favorite of mine."
(Sizzlin' Cinnamon)
The teacher walks in; the class gets all quiet.
"Whoever smells so good is gonna ruin my diet!"
She starts the lesson, and the classroom gets tense.
"Well," I sigh to myself, "I'm glad I have lots of 'scents'!"
