I have done so much baking because we recently had our village festival which I baked several things for. The daycare sold baked goods to raise money. That started it all and I haven't stopped baking! It is a good way to fight the cold. :) Expatraveler,

Using clean hands to mush it with your fingers, honestly, is the easiest way. Smush into a 9X13 pan (I don't know what standard sizes you have there- but slightly larger than this is better- do not go smaller) Topping: 1 pkg chocolate chips (approximately 12 oz) 1 stk butter Melt the chocolate and the butter together (microwave works well)- mix until VERY smooth- work that butter in well. Pour over the peanut butter mixture. Let it harden in the fridge. Hint: before cutting, let the pan sit on the counter for about 10 minutes to soften a bit. Otherwise, you end up cracking the chocolate. These can be frozen, once made. They taste great frozen, too. Reese Peanut Butter Cups

I sent the recipe to my girlfriend in France and now she makes them every time she needs a "fix". They taste just like the originals. No baking required, either.

Beat until smooth. Add flour, soda, salt and spices to pumpkin mix. Stir in water, raisins and nuts. Pour in a prepared loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 65-75 minutes. The nuts and raisins are optional but I think the bread is better with them. I also add a lot more cinnamon because it is so good. Here is the pumpkin bread recipe:

1 C sugar 1/2 t salt
1/2 C brown sugar 1/2 t nutmeg
1 C pumpkin gut 1/2 t cinnamon (I use more)
1/2 C oil 1/2 t ginger
2 eggs 1/4 C water
2 C flour 1 C raisins (optional)
1 t baking soda 1/2 C chopped walnuts (optional)
