Trend: Wide Leg Trousers

There's no other season like fall, there's no other season like fall, there's no other season like fall! Is it fall yet? Well, it was worth a try. I cannot wait for fall!! There's so many trends that I'm waiting to make happen! For instance, wide leg trousers are one of my must have trends to try! Wide leg trousers are great to wear with a chunky wedge and a flowy blouse to create a bohemian vibe. For a polished preppy look, I cannot wait to pair them with a fitted tee and blazer. Be on the lookout soon!

Strength & Struggle

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Ingredients

1/2 cup dark brown sugar {packed}

2 2/3 cups confectioners' sugar

1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter {divided}

1 3/4 cups creamy peanut butter

10 ounces milk chocolate chips

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate {chopped}

Instructions

Cut a piece of parchment paper big enough to line a standard sized brownie pan, with a bit of overhang. Grease the brownie pan & lay in the parchment paper.

Combine the brown sugar, confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup butter & peanut butter. Blend until smooth. Dump the mixture out into the pan & press it down, making it as even as possible.

Melt the chocolates & 2 tablespoons of butter in a double boiler, or in a heat-proof bowl set over simmering water. Stir occasionally to combine. Spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter base & smooth out the surface.

Put the pan in the refrigerator, until the chocolate is set. Remove the bars from the pan by lifting on the overhang of parchment paper & slice into squares using a sharp knife.
