Is there any better combination in this world than chocolate and peanut butter? I don’t think so.
We still had a bunch of Halloween candy leftover, and with the next holiday on the horizon, I decided it was time to use it up. Since we’re leaving Oklahoma soon, we had a few people over to celebrate/mourn, and I made these cookies.
Speaking of leaving Oklahoma soon… Nick’s class had a little fun-filled family day since they’ve successfully completed their training in the T-6. Here are a few glimpses of scenic Vance Air Force Base:

Though we won’t miss Enid, we will definitely miss Vance and all the people here. But we’re excited to move on to the next adventure!
Ok, back to chocopeanut goodness.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
