RECIPE: Peanut Butter Blossoms V-Day Style

Why are peanut butter & chocolate such an amazing combination!? I mean seriously... who doesn't like PB & chocolate!? Okay okay, everyone except those allergic to peanuts... &&& my brother Jantzen. He hates peanut butter in general. I know, he's not human. Good thing he's pretty cool otherwise. Anyways, am I the only one who is obsessed with PB blossom cookies? They are such a simple little cookie but they are literally divine. Why are they sooo good? I can't ever stop at just one. That's why I had to have an excuse to bake these. I needed to get them out of the house before I consumed every. single. one of them. So I decided to make them for Adam's cast & crew for a little Valentine's treat. Thank goodness I was giving them away because instead of the normal Hershey kiss, I used a Reese's chocolate heart. Goodness gracious guys. I don't know how I didn't eat them all right out of the oven. They were THAT good. If you need an easy last minute V-Day treat, these are for you. Or if you are just craving some delicious cookies. Either way though, you should make these. They'll definitely put a smile on your face!
