OMG. GOOD NEWS!! Remember how Facebook was being a d-bag and never showing my updates to any of my wonderful readers? Well they were doing that in hopes I would pay big bucks to have my normal, regular, everyday status updates be seen by all the people who clicked the “like” button on my page. I understand as a business that makes sense, but as a person who likes a billion blogs via facebook and who follows a billion blogs via facebook it was annoying and made me want to punch Mark Zuckerberg in the throat.

Well now, you can see ALL my updates again! Do you hear the angels singing praises? I sure do 🙂

So here’s how you do it:

a. Go to my facebook page. Hover over the “Liked” button on the upper-right of the page.
b. Click on “Settings”.
c. Click on “All Updates”.

And that’s it!

Now, about these cookies– they will make you want to never eat healthy again! Mwahahaha!

WHOLE peanut butter cups stuffed  into chewy chocolate pudding cookies!!!!–>these are the definition of heaven. My husband’s favorite combination of foods is hands down chocolate and peanut butter. And actually, the reason I made these was specifically for him because I didn’t really do ANYTHING for Fathers Day. Oops.

But in my defense, I just had a baby and I am 94% of the time exhausted. {The remaining 6% of time is spent shoving my pie hole with cookies…or buttery cheesy carbs.}

I did write him a note of all the reasons I love him. AND I did make him breakfast in bed. But he was still a little heartbroken he didn’t get the ginormo-mega-huge-TV he wanted. Sorry honey…that ain’t never gonna happen. So I made him cookies!

These pudding cookies are so easy to throw together its sort of amazing. And then when you add in some PB cups, puh-lease! Chewy, chocolatey, salty sweet goodness everyone will love. They’ll be a perfect treat to snack on over the weekend 🙂 hint hint.
Here’s that printable you’ll need! Have a great day, friends!
