Justin's signature in maroon red

INGREDIENTS

  • JUSTIN’S® Mini Peanut Caramel Nougat Bars (milk or dark chocolate)
  • Chocolate cookies
  • Candy eyes
  • Chocolate chips
  • Lollipop sticks or skewers (for pops)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Make the wings by
    • Twist apart chocolate cookies and scrape out the filling.
    • Cut each cookie half in half to form two curved wing pieces.
  2. Melt chocolate “glue”
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt a small handful of chocolate chips in 20-second bursts until smooth.
  3. Attach wings
    • Dip the flat edge of each cookie wing into melted chocolate and press onto the sides of a JUSTIN’S® Mini Candy Bar. Hold briefly to set.
  4. Add ears
    • Use two whole chocolate chips, pointy side up, on top of each bar. Secure with a dab of melted chocolate.
  5. Add eyes
    • Use melted chocolate to “glue” on candy eyes just below the ears.
  6. Optional pops
    • Insert a lollipop stick or skewer into the bottom of the candy bar before decorating if you want them on sticks.
  7. Set & serve
    • Place bats on a parchment-lined tray and let set in the fridge until firm.

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!

Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Dessert Hummus on a clear glass with strawberries in the background

I was recently informed that eating JUSTIN’S® Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Butter straight out of the jar with a spoon is “not ideal for sharing.” Bold of them to assume I wanted to share. If I did want to share, I would whip up this Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Dessert Hummus. It’s easy to make, delicious, and perfect for a crowd.

Peanut Butter Banana Pudding with whipped cream and peanut butter drizzle with cookies on a wooden top with white background

No, your mind is not playing tricks on you. You really are staring at a glass filled with layers of JUSTIN’S® Classic Peanut Butter, vanilla wafer cookies, bananas, and pudding, topped with coconut whipped cream. This recipe is so easy to make I can do it with my eyes closed. Except, I have to use a plate for every time I miss the glass. The good news is, it still takes me less than 10 minutes to make.
