The Decadent Hot Cocoa:
I liked this and it was easy enough to make. I think the salt helped balance the flavors, but you don't really taste it (except for the last sip, which had a few crystals in it). I would make this again, but I think the coconut hot chocolate in the New York Times is better.
The Peanut Butter Cookies:
These cookies have good peanutty-flavor. However, mine were really crumbly, falling apart when I took them off of the cookie sheet. The recipe says that the use of the two sugars "carmelizes beautifully and becomes nice and chewy". That sounded interesting to me. However, my cookies were more dense, and you can almost hear the sugar crunching in your mouth. Maybe I should have baked them longer? Maybe I need my oven checked?! Regardless, I still have eaten about five of them this afternoon....
