Snacking just got easier and more delicious. I am always looking for ways to snack smarter and healthier. Sometimes it’s an easy task and other times it’s struggle to open the fridge or pantry door and reach for something nutritious. I love peanut butter however the thought of a spoonful of it for a snack isn’t quite what I had in mind.
We are huge fans of Biscoff cookie Butter Spread, so if you want to transform this into a little more of a dessert consider replacing the peanut butter for the cookie butter spread into the mixture.
