Justin's signature in maroon red

INGREDIENTS

  1. 1 ½ cups toasted coconut
  2. 1 ½ cups pretzel sticks, broken into smaller pieces
  3. 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
  4. ½ cup Justin’s Classic Peanut Butter
  5. Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Candy Pieces or Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter
    Candy Pieces (for “eggs”)

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring
    in between until smooth.
  2. Stir the peanut butter into the melted chocolate until fully combined.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the toasted coconut and pretzel pieces with the chocolate-peanut
    butter mixture until everything is well coated.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheet,
    using the back of a spoon to create a nest shape with a small indent in the center.
  5. While the nests are still soft, place a few Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Candy Pieces
    in the center of each nest. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until firm. Serve and store
    at room temperature or in the fridge for a firmer texture.

Great Summer Recipes
Paleo Almond Butter Brownie Parfait in clear cups with fudge chunks and crumbs on a white background

This recipe needs no introduction, but I’ll write one anyway. There’s so many great things to say about this Paleo Almond Butter Brownie Parfait, it’s one of my kids’ favorites. It includes a bed of rich chocolate pudding, under a layer of coconut whipped cream, and topped with fudgy chocolate brownies. Yum! Did I mention it’s Paleo-friendly? You have to try it for yourself.

 

Easy Peanut-Ginger Noodles in a round white bowl with wooden chopsticks with fresh ginger in the background

Who hasn’t realized at 5:45 that they forgot to prep dinner? I certainly have. More than once. So often, in fact, that I created a delicious, quick, and healthy meal that uses pantry staples. My Easy Peanut-Ginger Noodles come together in the time it takes you to cook noodles and taste way better than anything you’ll order on an app or pull out of your freezer. Don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I forget to make dinner on purpose so that I have an excuse to make this dish!
