Three day weekend and Peanut Butter Crunch Cake

Yay for the weekend!  I'll be honest I had no idea we were headed into a three day weekend until this afternoon at four when Melissa informed me of it when she was picking up Macey!  WOOHOO! 
Last night I made the tastiest cake for Travis to bring to work.  I know it's tasty because my mom has made this cake for years.  It's a go-to recipe when you're needing something delicious yet fast!  And it's relatively inexpensive as well!  It's called Peanut Butter Crunch Cake.  I just googled the recipe (because I'm to lazy to get off the couch to walk to the kitchen to get it! sad but true :)  ) and apparently it's a Jif Peanut Butter Recipe.  Yum yum!  You should make it for your family to enjoy this weekend! 

*Just a side note on the recipe... my Mom and I always omit the peanut butter chips and replace them with the same amount of semi-sweet chocolate chips.  And we've never used peanuts on it either...I'm sure it would be tasty though!

*I don't have a picture of the peanut butter crunch cake... so I thought a picture of Colty would be just as nice:)

Have a great weekend everybody!
