PEANUTS? They do! And in honor of the amazing pigs at Pigs Peace, the new fundraiser treat is….Peanut Butter Cups! With Peppermint Patties for Pigs Peace, we raised a total of $1876 for the sanctuary. Hot damn! Let’s continue that trend! I talked to Judy from Pigs Peace a few weeks ago and she suggested that I switch up the treat for the Pigs Peace fundraiser…try to spread the love to those with different favorite candies. Vegan peanut butter cups it is! I went up to Home Cake Decorating Supply Co. yesterday to get a few supplies—namely peanut butter cup papers. That place is awesome! I ended up coming home with the papers, some colorful mini cupcake papers for a later date, a shortbread cookie cutter, and two mini springform pans. In my pre-vegan days, I was obsessed with making my mom’s infamous cheesecake recipe. I’m very particular about cheesecake and hers was the be all end all of cheesecakes. I’ve been wanting to try to make a vegan version, but I’m so terrified to waste a lot of ingredients on a full-size cake in the event that it turns out nasty. So mini springform pans should do the trick for exploring the wilds of vegan cheesecake making!
But back to Pigs Peace and peanut butter cups! You can read the details for the fundraiser on the Peanut Butter Cups for Pigs Peace page. In short, the same rules apply. Donate $50 or more, get a dozen handmade peanut butter cups, a 5×7 photo of one of the sweeties at Pigs Peace, and a handwritten thank you note from yours truly. Donate $35 or more, get a 5×7 photo of a pig and thank you note!
Pigs Peace depends on donations to keep things running. Judy has the pigs’ care and happiness first and foremost in mind and Pigs Peace is a truly extraordinary sanctuary! Please help if you can and, speaking of social media, please share the fundraiser on your social media networks to let others know about this opportunity to help out. Thank you!!
