Peanut Butter Fingers Recipe

These are the Peanut Butter "Bars" I served at Eliza's first birthday party. They are one of my favorite "quick n easy" treats that will give me a chocolate and peanut butter fix all in one bite. :)
Bars:
1 C. softened butter
1 C. peanut butter
1 C. white sugar
1 C. brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 C. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Press into a cookie sheet evenly. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool, then spread frosting.

Frosting:
melt 1 stick of butter
1/4 C. cocoa
4-6 T. milk
dash of salt
3 to 4 C. powdered sugar

Melt butter in a bowl, add cocoa and whisk until smooth. Then add milk, salt, and 3 C. of powdered sugar--mix well. Continue to add powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached. Sometimes I add less butter and more milk. . . .

Enjoy! Hope everyone is having a wonderful fall!

Home made Ginger Snap Predicament

I made some home made ginger snap cookies last week. They were so Yummy! I can't remember where I read the recipe. It was on some sort of bottle in my pantry. . .oil, molasses, or something like that.
They were really good, and now I can't seem to find the recipe again. I finished using the contents of several bottles in my pantry last week, then I threw them away. If anyone has a wonderful Ginger snap recipe, please share!

Also, does anyone else lose their mind/memory during pregnancy?!? I can search all over for a pen that I put in my hair a minute before I started looking for it. It is driving me crazy. I am just glad I have still been able to bottle peaches and bake food for my family, as well as continue to function somewhat normally.
