Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I love to dance. Full-on dad style. If you know anything else about me, it’s that I have a huge sweet tooth. One of my favorite ways to indulge my cravings for sweets is with my almond butter bacon-wrapped dates. I make it with fresh pitted dates, crispy bacon, and JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter. It’s so good it makes me feel like I could dance!

When I was a kid, one of my favorite snacks was fruit. But, then I started making nut butter and it all turned around. Yep, you better believe it. I started making crispy rice treats and snazzing them up with all kinds of goodies: dark chocolate, sea salt, and of course, any of your favorite JUSTIN’S® Nut Butters. Feel like a kid again with my nut butter rice crispy treats with dark chocolate & sea salt.
This flavorful dish was inspired by my love for Asian cuisine. It’s entirely vegetarian and feels like a treat everytime I make it. The combination of zesty, sweet, and savory miso sauce over a bed of veggies and noodles, is the perfect dinner recipe for any night.
