Peanut Butter Smooches

I'm attempting to get my act together to send a few Valentine's out this year to some of my BFF's..Last night, I did my best to try and make Peanut Butter Blossoms as seen on eighteen25's blog. I don't know what recipe they used, but I grabbed this one off of JIF.com's website. I let my hubby try a couple, and before I knew it, he had 4 on his plate..his excuse?? He flipped one over while still hot and made a mess of chocolate, and well, the other one got a little chocolate on it too..So theoretically, he only took 2 good ones. Love that man.

Chocolate-Peanut-Buttery-Love in a cookie. Try it!
