Domino Effect

A representative from Domino Sugar contacted me with a lovely holiday offer. Each week Domino Sugar chooses a select group of food bloggers to receive a $20 gift card to use toward purchasing ingredients to make holiday goodies and gifts. I was honored by their offer and excited to select a recipe from their website. After a fun search through their recipe section, I settled for this delicious peanut butter recipe. I tweeked the ingredients a bit by adding peanut butter with honey to play up the sweetness factor. These muffins were scrumptious and packed with peanut butter flavor. These are a must for all you PB lovers out there.
