White Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chunks!

My poor banana has been taken by SIN!

I blame delectable wonders of White Chocolate 

Wondeful Peanut Butter by PeanutButter&Co !!!

Peanut Butter on Banana with Vegan Chocolate Chunks!!!

To garnish (hehehe), I grabbed a small handful of Enjoy Life Foods 

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mega Chunks because, (in my opinion), 

chocolate provides a needed KICK to such a memorably classic snack

Question: How do you "garnish" your bananas?

Squash Snack and Nut Butter Spread

It's a rare treat when I actually slow down long enough to get creative with my snacking

Leftover roasted kabocha squash from last night made for a perfect afternoon treat!

Kabocha Squash, Blueberries, and 2 different Nut Butters

Artisana's Cacao Bliss Coconut Butter and Organic Creamy Peanut

 Butter, because life is so much richer when you've got options ;)

I made this visually pretty for all of you, right down to the colorful bird napkin haha

Question: What was the last 

"creative" snack you made for yourself?

Bottom of the Peanut Butter Jar

This gorgeous spring weather that we're having 

makes it feel like summer. Perfect patio weather!

And the perfect weather to enjoy scraping the last bit of peanut butter from the jar

Adams 100% Natural Creamy Peanut Butter

Good 'til the last drop spoonful

Beautiful sunshine

Enjoying every bit of what this Island has to offer

Last Night Waffles

Nothing like getting the late-night munchies for Buttered Belgium Waffles

2 Belgium Waffles smothered in "Better Than 

Butter" Spread and Sugar-Free Maple Syrup 

I gobbled these down just as fast as I could capture the photos ;)

Question: What's your favorite late-

night treat when you have the munchies?

Peanut Butter with Honey

Kraft Peanut Butter with Honey

Absolutely in love with this Peanut Butter!!! I am not 

a big fan of honey but I loved how subtle the flavor was,

 not overpowering the peanuts but enhancing them instead

Today I spent the day with the kitties, slowly 

more destined to become the crazy cat woman

But I made good use of my day, getting lots of chores done...

...and lots of blogging with Salem too

Here's a couple cute photos I captured...

These two make my day :)

The tree (back home) is lit and the Christmas Countdown 

is coming to a close. I hope everyone is enjoying the season!

3 more days until Christmas

Chocolate Covered Fruit Loops Cereal

Because all Fruit Loops should be smothered in Chocolate Spread!

Compliments Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

I had a hankering for a mug/cup of Fruit Loops Cereal in the afternoon, 

and was excited to find Chocolate Butter in the cupboard to spruce it up a bit!

Each mouthful was deliciously enjoyed, in ecstasy 

You can tell a little Snacking Squirrel has been digging into the jar... *wink, wink*

So next time you have a cereal craving, I suggest 

seeing what else is in your pantry that you could add

Questions: Do you have Chocolate Spread in

 your place? Do you eat it by the spoonfuls too?

Smarties Rice Krispy Squares

Whenever I'm feeling under the weather, I love to get in
 the kitchen and cook up childhood favourites. And do I
 have a treat for you: Smarties Rice Krispy Squares!!!

If you live in the United States, you don't call these candies Smarties, as they refer 

to the powdered versions we call, "Rockets". But humour me for now. I also used a 

mix of regular white Rice Krispies with the new Gluten-Free Brown Rice Krispies...

Start off melting 1/4 cup vegan margarine (or butter) over 

medium heat, stirring in 40 regular puffed marshmallows

Keep stirring until the marshmallows melt :)

Then fold in 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal, turning the stove off

Now to add in the chocolate candy treats!

Gently blend in the Smarties with the Rice Krispy 

mixture, a couple folds with a spatula is all you need

Ta-da! Now to transfer to a baking dish lightly
coated with PAM or any other non-stick oil spray

The best way to flatten the Rice Krispy Squares is by using parchment paper
or wax paper over top, pressing and smoothing out the edges with your hands

Try to even out the surface as best you can

Then before they dry and set up, score the squares, gently cutting into them

Makes about 20-25 squares, depending on 

how big you cut them and how large your dish is

Serve warm or best, cooled, with a cup of tea or coffee
