When I was in the grocery store the other day I saw a new product on the shelf and decided to take a look at it.
Was surprised to see Reece’s had a chocolate peanut butter spread out that was gluten free.
When I posted my find on Facebook I found most folks were excited to see what kind of new recipe I would come up with.
There were a few folks that were not happy to see a processed item being talked about but as I have stated before on my site I believe it’s okay to enjoy treats occasionally. We eat mainly fruits, veggies and meats in our house but because I love baking so much there can be cakes and cookies in the kitchen also.
If you ask my family they will tell you that we might have one cookie or one slice of cake but I normally give most of the baked goods away.
I wanted to come up with a simple one-layer square cake. An easy recipe to make and enjoy with or without icing.
