But let's be honest, today's focus isn't on those memories of friends or experiences.
It's on lunch.
And I know that people have their own, sometimes very strong, opinions about what is offered for lunch at school. And what it tastes like.
But I LOVED it.
The salads, the sub sandwiches, the cheese rolls {which I still crave on a daily basis}.
And people....where do they get their ranch dressing?! I neeeeeed to know this. So that I can go buy 17 cases.
But today's recipe? Peanut Butter Bars.
I am not sure if this is just a Utah high school treat, or maybe just the specific school district that I was in. Either way, you should probably make these.
High School Peanut Butter Bars
The Stuff:
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups oats
The Doing:
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all the ingredients together. Spread on cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes.
Chocolate Frosting
The Stuff:
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 large spoonfuls cocoa
1 tsp Vanilla
Half bag powdered sugar
Milk
The Doing:
Whip melted butter and cocoa together until smooth. Add vanilla and powdered sugar. Milk should be added very slowly until desired consistency is achieved. {Which is why there is no measurement next to milk.}
I need to eat this. Like right now. With some Nutella. Mmmm.
ReplyDeleteOMG. Totally pinning this.
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing, and like a recipe that I HAVE to try!
haha i never had school lunch, but i always made my friends share these with me. they are SO GOOD!!
ReplyDeleteRemember when I worked doing school lunch for a few months? It was in the same school district and they used the powdered ranch packets to make the ranch. I think it was Kraft or Hidden Valley... can't remember. Worth a try! Oh, and did I already tell you that I found a bread recipe exactly like the school lunch recipe because we could totally try making the cheese rolls.
