Sorry I've been away from my blog for so long. But I have two really good reasons....I swear. I've been on maternity leave since March 5. We thought my daughter was going to make an early appearance from her due of 3/10/13. However, she fooled us all and didn't come until 3/18/13. So please welcome my newest daughter Kaidyn Leona Lyon. :-) Her older sister, Kenzie, who is 22 months old has been a big help to me while I've been on leave. When not actually assisting me, she is keeping me amused with her antics. Needless to say, I've been quite busy.....and tired.

To make these Knock-Off Peanut Butter Cups you'll need the following:

- 1 cup of crunch peanut butter (I've used regular too)
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup white corn syrup
- 6 ounces of chocolate chips (I find the milk chocolate chips are the best!)
- Heat the peanut butter, sugar and corn syrup on low heat to melt.
- Stir in the corn flakes. Mix together well.
- Pat into an 8x10 pan that has been greased well.
- Melt the chocolate chips over low heat.

- Cut into square and ENJOY!
Good luck and thanks for all you do!
