Peanut Butter & Co


So I thought I would share these awesome peanut butters I discovered at my local Walmart (of all places!...).
The one on the left is dark chocolate PB and has a strong chocolate taste, the one on the right is White Chocolate PB and to me it tastes kind of like vanilla peanut butter. They are very easy to spread, don't need to be stirred or refrigerated, are kosher, vegan and gluten free, don't contain HF Corn syrup or hydrogenated oils. And did I mention they taste delicious?...

If you can't find them near you, they can be ordered from their website: http:/www.ilovepeanutbutter.com/, they also have a FB page, and a sandwich shop in NYC.

I used the dark chocolate one for my PB Chocolate Bites. :-)

Freezer Crunchy PB-Chocolate Bites


Internet is a great thing... Yesterday a friend of mine posted on FB the link to a mock butterfingers recipe found on chocolatecoveredkatie.com (you can find it here! :-)) and it inspired me to make this version with my own twist...
See, the original is made with peanut butter and then an optional layer of chocolate on top... I took the lazy route and used Chocolate Peanut Butter instead!

So here goes:

Ingredients:

* 1/4 cup Agave syrup
* 1 tbsp Molasses
* 1 cup Chocolate Peanut Butter (I used "Dark Chocolate Dreams" from Peanut Butter & Co *)
* 2 tsp vanilla extract
* 2 cups GF cornflakes*

Directions:

Heat the agave and molasses in a saucepan till boiling. Remove from the fire and mix the PB and vanilla in. Once it is smooth and well incorporated, add the cornflakes in there and mix with a wooden spoon, crushing the cf to your liking (I left some big pieces as it gets crunchier this way).
Dump little mounts on a tray covered with wax paper (using 2 spoons), and put in the freezer till solid. I left them in the freezer afterwards in an airtight container, that way they stay hard. (the pic above is right before they went in). I don't think they will have time to turn bad anyway... ;-)

These are delicious!! Not exactly low in calories but at least all natural ingredients... :-)

* I find the chocolate peanut butter at my local Walmart
* I think the GF cornflakes are harder and crunchier than regular ones and don't get soggy as easily, which made for very crunchy bites! yum! :-)
