Preparing for the Last...Baked Good

As our departure date for Cambodia grows ever closer, I find myself pondering completely inane things.

Such as, what should my final baked good be?  What should I prepare in my lovely butter yellow stand KitchenAid mixer before I don't have access to this lovely equipment for two years?

I could go for an old standby: peanut butter candy.  These aren't really candy- it's crunchy and peanut butter and chocolate bars, but where I grew up, our school district made these little bars and I lurved them!  This is the recipe I use.

Or a new favorite chocolate cake that I've made a few times, and posted about here:



Or something I've yet to make, like this amazingness Amanda posted at kevinandamanda a few weeks back, called Chocolate Chip Cookie and Oreo Fudge Brownie Bar.  Um, YES?!

Or how about homemade twix bars from Hoosier Homemade?

Or I could go for broke and attempt to NOT fail at cheesecake, as I did a few weeks ago:



If you had a last meal or last dessert to make for two years, what would you pick? Suggestions?

    Why choose? Go for the gold and do IT ALL! They all look amazing. And, you know, if you don't want to eat everything you make, you could always ship some to Maine... ;-)

    cupcakes...boring, but you would be surprised how something so boring can be so missed when you absolutely cannot find it anywhere.

    I would make one of those crazy layer cakes, like a rainbow cake. Just because I never have and what better time to try? That or salted caramel cookies like Serena brought to NOLA. OMG, so good!

    I've been dying to try those homemade Twix bars...perhaps if you make them I can live vicariously through you? :) (Also, so sorry I've been slacking on commenting lately...but I've been following along and I'm so excited to read about your adventures abroad!)

    Peanut butter. Anything with peanut butter and chocolate always wins in my book!

    Like others, I say go big or go home (do it all)! But if you absolutely have to pick, anything with peanut butter and chocolate is my pick!
