nutritious junk

I think I love peanut butter so much because I never had it as much as most American kids. You see, my Israeli mom spread hummus and tahini on my sandwiches, and my Belgian dad outlawed “conventional” chocolates like Reese’s.  Infamously, I’m also a die hard chocoholic (anybody who knows me on facebook has evidence!).  So how convenient that Peanut Butter and Co made Cark Chocolate Dreams. A 2 Tbs serving has 170 calories, 13g fat, 12g carbs, 7g sugar, 2 g fiber, and 6g protein. Yes, it has some sugar, but this is made with all natural ingredients (not like Skippy or Jiff that are sweetened with HFCS’s and hydrogenated oils!). It’s a smooth mixture of dark chocolate and peanut butter tastes delicious that’s nutty and surprisingly, not too sweet. I love this with Trader Joe’s Pretzel slims or with an apple.  Perfect for a peanut butter or chocolate craving. Honor them both with dark chocolate dreams. Speaking of dreams, I had a memorable dream as a kid that I always dreamt when I was sick. I don’t remember the details, but I recall I turned into a cupcake. Weird, huh? But I bet I’m a better cupcake then those at Magnolia. Sprinkles, or Crumbs.
