Friday... After work, I decided to go to the Temple, since the Draper Temple is closed for cleaning, I went to the Jordan River Temple, I had an amazing experience. When I was done getting confirmed, one of the witnesses asked me, "What did you say your last name was?" "Kevern" "Who is your grandpa?" "Eugene Kevern..." "You need to come with me." By this point I was a little confused and couldn't understand what was going on, I thought I was in trouble, so I just followed this little old man to the front window where you check in and fill out your name tag. " He opened the door and said, "Madlyn, guess who I have found! Your cousin Eugene's granddaughter!" This small lady with silvery hair beamed when she heard my grandpa's name. I then found out that I was related to this amazing couple, I started smiling and laughing at the situation. We visited for a while, then I went to do baptisms, I could feel the spirit so strong. I went in with a few questions, hoping for some peace and guidance, even though I might not have received my answers, I felt so much comfort and joy when I met some of my long lost relatives. As I left, my grandpa's cousin was still sitting in her big comfortable chair, still with a smile on her face. Walking up the stairs to leave she called my name and said "Sister Kevern, please come back every Friday night I work here those nights, it was my pleasure to meet you, and tell your grandparents I said hello!" Wow! I was totally touched by her sweet and tender actions toward me.
Anyway, I couldn't help but share that story! After I came home I was really bored and finally decided what to do... I made these wonderful peanut butter bars. They may be bad for you but I don't care, they melted in my mouth! I would like to share this recipe! For those of you on the gluten free diet, the only thing you need to replace is the flour. Enjoy!
CRUST:
1/2 CUP SOFT BUTTER (1 STICK)
1/2 CUP SMOOTH PEANUT BUTTER
1 1/2 CUP GRANULATED SUGAR
1/2 TSP. VANILLA
1 1/2 CUP FLOUR
FILLING:
2 EGGS
2 TBSP. PEANUT BUTTER
1/2 CUP GRANULATED SUGAR
1/2 CUP BROWN SUGAR
PRE-HEAT OVEN TO 375
CRUST: MIX BUTTER, PEANUT BUTTER, AND SUGAR UNTIL WELL BLENDED. STIR IN VANILLA. ADD FLOUR AND MIX WELL (MIXTURE WILL BE CRUMBLY). TAKE ONE CUP OF MIXTURE FOR TOPPING. FIRMLY PRESS REMAINING MIXTURE INTO BOTTOM OF GREASED 9X13 BAKING DISH.
FILLING: BEAT EGGS, PEANUT BUTTER, SUGAR, BROWN SUGAR TOGETHER. SPREAD OVER UNBAKED CRUST. SPRINKLE WITH REMAINING CRUST MIXTURE. BAKE FOR 20-23 MIN OR UNTIL SET. THEN LET COOL AND CUT INTO BARS. DO NOT BAKE OVER 30 MIN, THE CRUST WILL BECOME TOO HARD.
These are seriously to die for! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
