Candy Cane Peanut Butter Brownies / Giveaway #CandyCaneHacks

December 19, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 20 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I have for you a chocolaty holiday treat that is sure to please brownie lovers and peanut butter lovers of all kinds, it’s my Candy Cane Peanut Butter Brownies! I teamed up Peanut Butter Co. to show you that flavors that you don’t think would go together actually do. I was a little bit skeptical about peppermint and peanut butter going together, but you know what? It does! It’s a crazy combo that shocked me when I took my first bite!
Candy Cane Peanut Butter Brownies
The brownies are light, moist, super chocolaty and the peanut butter frosting on top is to die for. I couldn’t stop eating it. I also took candy canes, crushed them and sprinkled them on top. They are pretty, a crowd pleaser and so perfect for the holidays. Who would have thought peanut butter and peppermint go together?

Some memories are too precious to ever fade. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ S Some memories are too precious to ever fade. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

Sully passed away at only 2 years old from osteosarcoma, cancer of the bone. Losing him was one of the hardest things Iโ€™ve ever experienced.

I created Sullyโ€™s Garden to keep his memory aliveโ€”to have a little place in our garden that would always remind me of my sweet boy. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’™

His garden sign now has a special place in a planter, surrounded by flowers and love. Every time I see it, I think of Sully.

He may not be here beside me, but he will always be a part of our home, our garden, and my heart. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿพ

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever Sully. โค๏ธ

Hi Friends! I am absolutely loving Proven Winner Hi Friends!

Oddly enough, I donโ€™t get many monarch butterflies in my garden, but I had some visit this weekโ€”and they were hanging out on the Truffula Pink Gomphrena! ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ’—

For that reason alone, Iโ€™ll definitely be growing it again next year!
