Tasty Tuesday

Today I want to share a recipe that I got at a church dinner.  It's so simple, but tastes great! 

Peanut Butter Sticks

Ingredients:

5 thin slices of white bread*

1/2 cup of peanut butter

1/4 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of vegetable oil

vanilla wafers

Step 1:

Take the pieces of bread and remove the crust from each slice.  Then cut each square of bread into 4 long strips.(You can remove the crust and slice them quickly with a pizza cutter.)  Place the strips on an ungreased cookie sheet and place in a preheated 200 degree oven.  Leave these for 2 hours, remove from oven, but leave the oven on.

Step 2:

Using a spoon, blend the peanut butter, sugar and oil.

Step 3:

Crumble(real fine)vanilla wafers, put in a bowl and set aside.

Step 4:

Dip the toasted bread strips into the peanut butter mixture, then roll each strip in the vanilla wafer crumbs, coating well.

Step 5:

Place each strip back on the cookie sheet and put the sheet back into the oven.  Immediately turn the oven off, but leave the cookie strips in the oven until cold.

Remove from oven and enjoy!  Store any uneaten strips in an airtight container. 

*Note:  We don't eat white bread, so I made these with wheat bread and they turned out great!
