We are now back to our daily activities. I missed you guys. That’s why I’m here to show you what I did this weekend.
While I was shopping for the most needed stuff for my trip, I noticed the last peanut butter pack just waving at me. I knew I would cook something with it.
I forgot that I had it until Sunday morning when I was making breakfast for my kids. I decided to surprise them with something they never had the chance to try.
I mean, both of them know the taste of peanut butter, but these recipes are just secret.
I’m kidding. Most of you probably made them. The others who haven’t heard about these healthy peanut butter snacks will be surprised by their taste.
My kids enjoyed an after-breakfast snack and wondered what I put in there.
I made the peanut butter rocky road treats. If only I had a camera at the moment to catch their expression. It was priceless.
Here are three recipes you can try:
Peanut Butter Popcorn
Ingredients- 8 cups of popcorn
- ½ cup of honey
- Optional: ½ cup of brown sugar (I made them without sugar)
- ½ cup of peanut butter
- ¾ teaspoon of salt
- Put the popcorn in a large bowl
- Take a waxed paper and line your baking sheet
- Boil honey (and sugar) in your saucepan until the sugar is dissolved
- Cook this mixture until foamy (3 minutes)
- Add the peanut butter and salt. Stir until smooth
- Put the results in the sheet and let the popcorn cool down
Rocky Road Treats
- 1 and ½ cups of Choco chips
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 6 tablespoons of peanut butter
- 2 cups of pretzels, broken into pieces
- 2 cups of small marshmallows
- One cup of roasted peanuts
- Take a saucepan and place the peanut butter along with butter and choco chips
- Cook with low heat and stir once in a while until the mixture melts
- Let it cool for 15 minutes
- Add all of the ingredients and place them in a baking dish
- Refrigerate for an hour
- Enjoy!
Roast Peanut Butter Chicken
Ingredients:- 1 tablespoon of butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon of peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon of hot pepper sauce
- Chicken breast
- Pepper and salt
- One tablespoon of olive oil
- Mix the butter and peanut butter with the hot sauce.
- Place them in a small bowl
- Spread this mixture on the chicken
- Season with the salt and pepper and add olive oil
- Start roasting the chicken at 425 degrees for 30 minutes
- Voila!
My kids say everything is smoother and tastier when peanut butter is involved.
Do you agree?
Invite your friends over and make snacks for them. Wait until you see their face. Share this and see who is coming.
