1 1/2 C. graham cracker crumbs
1 C. butter, melted
1 C. peanut butter
1 lb (1 box) powdered sugar
1 bag of chocolate chips
 
Mix until smooth and press into a 13 X 9 buttered pan.  Melt 2 C. (1 bag) chocolate chips and spread on top. 

Let cool at room temperature (cooling in the fridge makes them very brittle and hard to cut).

Have milk on hand.

BigJohn's yummy hot sandwich

Ok, it's nothing really that special:

1/4 cup chopped or sliced onion

1 mushroom, sliced

4-6 slices of turkey pastrami

1 slice swiss cheese

1 stadium/outdoor roll

1 Tbsp butter

Sautee the onions and mushrooms in butter, then warm the slices of turkey pastrami on top of them. Flip and turn the mix to distribute the buttery, mushroomy, onioney goodness.

Put the slices of pastrami on the open-face roll; cover with the sauteed mixture. Top with a slice of swiss cheese. Put in a toaster over just long enough so that the cheese is starting to melt.

Very simple, but very good. :)

I just got a panini toaster thing recently and opt for the filling

Pesto (spread on bottom half of bread)

Sundried tomato paste (spread on top)

German pepper salami

diced jalepeno peppers (not too many or all other flavours get drowned out)

mozzarella 

I could live on these!

Here's the list of ingredients:

• vodka
• Store bought box cake mix (and associated ingredients)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 box instant pudding
• ½ cup chocolate chips
• Handful of chocolate kisses

Adding one or all of the above ingredients to of store-bought box cake mix will take it to a whole new level in moistness and flavor. Here's how to bake a homemade-store-bought cake:

1. Now to make the homemade-store-bought cake: Follow the instructions cake baking instructions on the boxed cake mix: The only difference will be to add the instant pudding to the cake mix before adding any of the liquid ingredients. The pudding flavor is not important. For those with more adventurous taste buds, try adding instant butterscotch pudding. For a richer chocolate cake add instant chocolate pudding (In some circles, this is the recipe for Death by Chocolate cake).
2. Add all the liquid ingredients EXCEPT the water. This is where you add the vodka. The amount is up to you I generally replace all the water the recipe calls for with vodka but this makes for a strong cake. My friends suggest going half and half, half vodka half water.
3. Mix in accordance with the instructions on the cake box. When the cake consistency is no longer powdery, add the cup of sour cream. Continue to mix or beat as instructed. Do not be alarmed if the batter looks like it's growing. The batter will be much fluffier than straightforward cake mix.
4. This step is for chocolate chip lovers only: Sprinkle in the half-cup of chocolate chips. Using a spoon, mix the chocolate chips into the batter.
5. The piece de resistance: After pouring the fluffy batter into the cake pan, unwrap several chocolate kisses and place them cone side down into the batter. Don't force them all the way through the batter; just place them so the bottom of the chocolate kiss is even with the surface of the cake batter.

 Im going to try to track that down.

5-minute chocolate cake

4 tablespoons flour

4 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons cocoa

1 egg

3 tablespoons milk

3 tablespoons oil

3 t ablespoons chocolate chips (optional)

A small splash of vanilla extract

1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.  Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT ! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

I like the idea of junkie cooking! I'll need to peruse my recipes and see if I have anything yummy to contribute -- other than peep jousting...okay, that's debatable whether or not that's considered cooking

Thanks for the recipes, one and all!

And I'm already designing the belt for the JunkieCon Peeps Deathmatch Champion.

this weekend

dash of salt. I don't know why you never see salt in this coffe-mug cake recepie, but you need it to set off the sugar and cocoa.

This is a really basic and servicable recipe, but it could use some refinement. I made this tonight exactly according to specs here (except i added a bit of salt) and found the cake to be dense and not as sweet as I would have expected. I think the denseness is because I used plain flour without any baking powder, rather than using cake flour. Apparently there is a difference. Cake flour usually has some leavening agent added to it, like baking powder, while plain flour does not. Keep that in mind when making this, Junkies. Try to stick with cake flour, but if all you have is regular flour, try adding 1/4 tsp baking powder to the mix, in addition to a healthy dash of salt. The baking powder creates gas bubbles in the batter that help make the finished product lighter and have more volume.

This makes for a great starch component of any meal. Remember kids, balance your meals - 1 protien, 1 starch, 2 veg (screw the USDA pyramid, they don't know what they're talking about)

1½ - 2 pounds (about 2 large) sweet potatoes, peeled if desired

2 Tablespoons olive oil

¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Cut the sweet potatoes into rounds about ½ inch thick. Toss with the olive oil to coat, then toss with the Parmesan, salt and pepper to coat both sides. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350ºF oven for 15 minutes. Turn the sweet potatoes and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 10 to 15 minutes more.

We can have a Junkie Iron Chef competition. We'll call it "Platinum Chef" as an homage to Earthcore, which got Scott started. Hmmmmm, I wonder what the secret ingredient should be???
