Sweets and Netflix

It's been a very long week. We realized last night that we had a blog post due today, and originally it seemed like just another obligation. But when Katie got home from Friday classes (finally) and we were able to get started on this post, it ended up being just what was needed to wind down.

We decided to make a treat and watch some Gilmore Girls, because all the news on the forthcoming revival has left us with the need for a Gilmore Girls fix. So we whipped up these chocolate-covered peanut butter hearts, which are quick, easy, fit with the month's theme of Valentine's day, and are a no-bake recipe (essential, since our oven isn't working). Plus, chocolate and peanut butter is a winning combo, as we all know.

These Reese's-esque treats use just seven ingredients:

• peanut butter
• powdered sugar
• vanilla
• butter
• milk
• chocolate
• shortening

So now we're going to eat a couple of these lovely little things and watch an episode or two on Netflix. Let us know in the comments if you too are excited about four new mini-series style episodes of Gilmore Girls! You can also share your Valentine's day plans with us, if you so choose. We plan to have a sister day - eat some pizza and chocolate, watch a movie (probably a Disney one), and play some games. See you in two weeks!
