Beat in marshmallow creme 5 to 6 minutes or until almost cool and stiff peaks form. spread over bars. Top with peanuts and 16 dried banana chips. 16 bars = about 210 calories.
this is DD’s creation (she’s the dessert master), as she’s always trying to come up with interesting recipes that has her mother’s favorite favorite food — peanut butter! however, the ‘garnish’ is my addition…which she believes is not necessary;-) so you can decide!
I baked a bunch of sweet treats over the holidays and saved a few for me for dessert, then I’m swearing off desserts for at least a month…well…we’ll see…encourage me!!!!!!!!!
fyi — the little wench makes an amazing pumpkin-peanut butter cheesecake with chocolate drizzle and she won’t share the recipe! ACK!
AND she just announced over the holidays that she’s been accepted to culinary school so she’s not going to be a music teacher…she’s going to be a chef. I’m proud, but I wish she’d do the last semester to get the degree and THEN go off to become a chef. nowadays, you need all the skills you can get to get and stay employed;- - brchbell
Can’t wait to try them! Bet the kids will love it!

OH GROSS!! I cant stand peanut butter!!! Sorry yall!!
- brchbellWell, I love peanut butter but as I’ve aged it no long loves me! I only eat a little and only if it’s in the morning so I have time to digest it and get over the problems before bedtime. But my kids really love peanut butter and we go through a good 5 pounds a month! Like I said we work hard and it’s a high energy food. I’ll have a grilled cheese for lunch and the kids will have grilled peanut butter and chocolate chip! They go through a ton of them when we are doing fencing. They hand dig the holes then help plant poles and string fencing. hard work and they burn off a lot of calories doing it! Whole wheat bread with PB & Choc. Chips is as close as we get to junk food here! Even I think it sounds gross!

mos,
I LOVE peanut butter, and I think your daughter is a genius! These look to die for. I am definitely going to make them.. Oh man… I can feel a few more pounds creeping on…. Thank you for posting the recipe for us.. and thank her for sharing please. - mos
that’s okay…we’ll still keep ya! LOL! BUT, I have to admit that you are the first person that I’ve ever heard of NOT liking peanut butter!
- mosyeah…DD is pretty clever… her cheesecakes are incredible…definitely an artist with this delight!
- brchbell
My niece went to a Jr. college and got a 2 yr. culinary arts degree and came straight out and got a job paying $90,000 in KC,MO as a pastry chef. She’s best known for her cheese cake. They are to die for but Heather’s not sharing any recipes on this! She’s been doing it for more than 8 yrs now and loves it! Great job if they are good at it!

DD wants to have her own place. her goal is to work for someone else for a couple of years and learn some more about the business aspect while saving to have her own place. she’s really given herself a lofty goal or opening in three years!!! she very generously offered her dear old mother a spot as one of the chefs since she intends to focus on her specialty…yummy desserts;-) I think that I’d probably do better as a bookkeepper or possibly a supervisor of sanitary practices — dishwasher! LOL! well, maybe I could be the friendly hostess…
- HSLINKSRunning a restaurant is a tough tough job .. Little sleep, lots of stress
Any book keeping background knowledge? If you get the BBC watch the restaurant shows dealing with some of the other people in the kitchen is a nightmare ..

- starsinnightsounds delicious!! And mos, i’m thinking about the same thing as your daughter. i just sent off a postcard to receive info on culinary school, but am trying to convince myself to stay in the education program im in now and finish that first! 🙂 i’d love to have my own restarant one day.
i love peanut butter and banana smoothies so this should be great!!!
- mos
a friend recommended that DD should try his competition once she finishes. she knows my DD and thinks that it would make for great entertainment even if she didn’t win. DD is pretty tough and gives as good as she receives;-0
- mosgood for you! I’m glad that someone is doing a little extra thinking;-) be sure to keep us posted on your endeavors!!!
