Delicious Gooey Chocolate-Peanut Cookie Bars

Image
 Hi everyone! Here is an amazing recipe that I got from  Taste of Hom e and modified based on what I had at home and my personal preferences. This recipe makes a really delicious cookie-bar chocolate-peanut mix that the family and I really love.                  Without further ado, let’s get started! First, you’re going to make our chocolate chip cookie recipe  The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies  (you don’t need to double it, it makes about 12 bars) Then, press it into a 9x13 pan Scatter peanut butter chips (Peanuts work too) and chocolate chips over the surface of the cookie, using however much you want  Bake at 350 for 14-16 minutes Take it out and scatter mini marshmallows and (This is optional) chopped up walnuts then put it back in the oven for 6-8 minutes Take out, cool, and enjoy!

Bored? Be bored no more with the Bored Button!

Hi, Amelia here. Right about now, most of us are finishing school for the summer, and are realizing just how bored they really are. I’m no exception. So I Googled ‘I’m so bored’ because what else are you going to do if you’re bored (joking of course). The result was amazing! I found a website called Bored Button, and it is super fun. Here is the link:  boredbutton.com So, you go to the website and this is the page you see.  Then, you basically just click the red Bored Button and it shows you all sorts of fun games, trivia, and other things to do. One of the games is literally just ‘see how long you can press the button’! It’s really a fun website, with a ton of amazing boredom busters. Keep living life random, and don’t get to bored, Amelia😁

Books About Racism

Hi all, Amelia here! With what has been going on in the world right now, I decided I would post some books that I have read and liked about anti racism. Right now, I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This book takes place in the past (1933-35), in a fictional town. The story is told by a young girl whose father is Atticus Finch, a lawyer defending a black man. This story is amazing, but for teens and adults only. It has some bad words and not completely appropriate content. (Realistic/Historical Fiction) I read The Hate U Give  by Angie Thomas. It is told by a black girl who has trouble with racism, police brutality, and activism after watching her black friend get shot by a police. This book has a lot of bad words and inappropriate content. (Realistic/Historical Fiction) I also read The Sun Does Shine by Anthony Ray Hinton. Anthony Ray Hinton is a black man who spent thirty years on death row for a crime he didn’t commit. I this book was amazing, told with humor
