Remember the commercials? Who got chocolate in my peanut butter? Who got peanut butter on my chocolate? LOL Well it does seem to be a tasty treat that many like.
Candy bars can be very expensive. If you pay the same price as the old days - you get a smaller candy. Just like most things.
A neighbor brought me a package of cookies back from the grocery. Thought I may like them.
YES PLEASE!!!!! There are 18 cookies in this package and I was told they cost 1.38. Now 2 or 3 of these would probably be a good replacement for a regular Reese's Cup candy bar. So that is like 6-9 candy bars !!! (IF you can stop at 2 or 3) For 1.38!!!!!
These are good!!!!! Oh yes. I will say they are NOT quite as sickening sweet as a candy bar - but still sweet. Quite a tasty treat.
Homemade goodies with what you have on hand can be a good substitute for a candy bar as well. I have made Buckeye candy for years. It really is easy - I usually have everything needed on hand - and well, there is that peanut/chocolate thing again!! For those who don't know - a Buckeye is a type of nut that is dark brown with a tan spot on it (grows prolifically in OH). When finished the candy balls look like the nut.
The nut
**Just a side note: These nuts were named so, because they look like deer's eyes! They are edible ONLY IF shelled and roasted - otherwise they are toxic to humans. They are used in a lot of crafts.
As easy as it is to make - making the balls and dipping them is time consuming. I decided to skip that step and make in a pan and now I have Buckeye bites! (OK - they don't don't look the same - but the taste is there)
I was going through the freezer the other day (making room for that turkey) and I came across chips that were peanut butter/chocolate. Hmmmm - good in cookies, or placed on a hot pan of brownies. They melt - then I spread around and that is the icing! My brownies are always a hit (chips are always the icing). Put some in chocolate muffins - oh yes there are many ways to use those chips! They will get used this holiday season for sure.
So if you like your peanut butter and your chocolate - here are a couple options!
HAPPY SNACKING!
