Apparently there was some 'Make it to 20 Posts!' MoFo goal that I recently picked up on. Fortunately, I'm on track.
Here's my #20!
Apple Peanut Butter Caramel Bars
I remember seeing the recipe (scroll down) for these Apple Peanut Butter Caramel Bars pop up on the Post Punk Kitchen forums and meaning to make them. I didn't see how this recipe could be available and I would not jump on a reason to make it! The thread is from September 2006 and I didn't find myself making them until this past weekend for a party. To be fair, I was gleely swallowed up in Veganomican recipe testing at the time.
For the crust, I used a double recipe of the Date Nut Diamonds base from Vegan with a Vengeance, also a recipe I've never made. I thought I had read about it being used instead of graham crackers, which I didn't have. It seemed a bit thick, but I can't really complain or approve because I didn't get to try one! I'll just have to make them again.
I mentioned my fear of bugs, especially in my produce, in my Broccoli post a couple weeks ago.
How FUCKING HAPPY I was to find this friend in the basil I had bought the weekend earlier and forgot about. LIVING IN IT.
AHHHH. I felt the evil coming from his basil scented antenna. I carried him and the basil to the dumpster and then locked my door and took a long shower.

At least you know there were no pesticides on the basil. LOL
OMG those bars look to die for! Ahh I am like salivating looking at those photos.
Congratulations on being accidentally on track.
Those bars look amazing.. that basil not so much.
I made those last year around the holidays, and I remember them well! That caramel was so good!
those bars do look awfully tasty. and boo on that moth. i hate finding..'friends' in my food.
HEEEEEAVENLY BARS!!!
Sorry about the basil :0(
i'm with ya on the bugs! ewwwwww!
haha the look worth 2 damn years for sure.
perhaps you should try to assimilate yourself to bugs by watching cutesy films like A Bugs Life....??
because I don't think they're going anywhere

You are hilarious about the bug!
Those caramel apple bars look amazing! I will have to try something like that very soon!
OMG, you totally have me freaked out about the broccoli bugs!!! I had never even heard of them before!
I would have taken a shower after dumping the basil too. I hate bugs, especially when they're living in my food!
we just talked about these in an email,but those pictures are spectacular!
I once had a cauliflower infested with bugs AND eggs.
Hey, that's what organic means - no pesticides, natural everything. It's only a bug!
I fully sympathize with the fear-of-bugs thing. I had a gnat problem in the kitchen a month or so ago, and I literally could not sleep at night because of it. Still drives me up the wall just thinking about it.
I was in flickr last night and saw pictures of these up as recent additions so of course I googled them and came up with the thread from 2006! I'm glad I did, they look amazingly good.
I had to go to flickr to check out your pictures because I could not find the bug you were talking about. Ick. One time I opened my kale that had been in the fridge for about a week and it was completely infested with little bugs.
These bars looks so awesome!! These are on my list to make they have been for a couple of months!!!
ooo I need to make these
Oh my gosh that was a nasty suprise in the basil! Blech. Bugs are scary.
But on a good note, the Apple Peanut Butter Caramel Bar looks divine!
I've been eyeing those bars. They look so damn good!
you crack up my shizz jd.
holy shit those bars look amazing!
Grow the basil yourself. It's super easy and it grows fast. C'mon, give it a go! =)
adriana, I don't have a yard and my cat eats my plants!
Your caramel drizzle is so glossy & luscious!
