Lotta Bang for the Buck Dessert—Peanut Butter Parfait

Yesterday I shared a special dinner menu and recipes. I promised dessert today and here it is…compliments of two bloggers. Inside BruCrew Life is new to me. When I ran across this recipe on Jocelyn’s site recently I bookmarked it for later perusal.

Peanut Butter Parfaits! The peanut butter pie filling portion is a recipe from Pioneer Woman (here) who seems to be all over the place. Did you see her on the Today Show last week? Jocelyn at Inside BruCrew Life created the parfait and you can find the recipe here. These were easy to do and, best of all, can be done ahead of time. They were perfect for Beloved who is Reese’s Peanut Butter fiend :) In fact, we loved them so much…..

I made ten of them and took them to a dinner party tonight. They traveled beautifully in a wine box with dividers! :) Since this is one of our new Favorite Things I am linking to Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie for her Favorite Things party. Thanks Laurie—you’d love them too :) PS-I'm going to forgive you for that picture :)...soon, maybe... :) I am also linking to Sweets for a Saturday at Sweet as Sugar Cookies. If you love dessert, you will be in heaven!

Thanks for dropping by. Have a great weekend!~~Susan

    Yes, I took that photo of the castle reflecting on the moat at Disneyland. Thank you for the compliment!
    And also thank you for getting back to me on the location of the crab meat at Costco. I'll be heading there tomorrow to get some! Have a lovely week end my friend!
