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!
½ cup JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter
24 Dates, pitted
1 pound Bacon Slices, cut in half
24 Toothpicks
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Stuff each date with 1 to 2 teaspoons of the JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter.
3. Wrap a slice of bacon tightly around each date and secure with a toothpick.
4. Place the dates on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
5. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, turning once. Serve warm.
Hotteok is a sweet, yeasty Korean pancake typically filled with cinnamon sugar and serves as a popular street snack. I took this as inspiration to stuff a yeasted dough with, you guessed it, Maple Almond Butter.
My whole life is making delicious nut butters. Is it any wonder that my favorite type of cookie is a peanut butter cookie? I do like to add a little variety to my favorite treats, though. Chopped white chocolate peanut butter cups are a welcome addition to this White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I love pasta. Hands down. Especially peanut butter pasta. Any time of day, any kind of weather, this Spicy Peanut Butter Pasta is the pasta for me. And it could be for you too!
I’m a sucker for a great doughnut, but sometimes I want to eat a whole dozen of them. My doctor tells me that eating that much fried dough isn’t good for me, but I’ve found a loophole. My Baked Cinnamon Almond Butter “Churro” Doughnuts are baked not fried. You still probably shouldn’t eat a dozen of them by yourself though.
You didn’t think I’d give you a s’mores recipe without putting my own spin on it did you? This is a classic with a sweet twist. This recipe uses JUSTIN’S® Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups in place of the milk-chocolate bar, and real cookie dough instead of crackers. How delicious does that sound? I should warn you though, these can get messy and are addicting. But mostly just addicting.
Did you know that matcha has more antioxidants than orange juice? My Matcha Smoothie Bowl is a great way to boost your immune system for the day and get your morning rolling on the right foot. A blended treat with dragon fruit, sliced bananas, and JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter. It’s so good!
I love cookies with stuff in them. It is like a dessert inside of a dessert. Bonus dessert! White Chocolate Peanut Butter ‘Cookies & Cream’ Cookies combine cookies with chunks of your favorite sandwich cookies and white chocolate peanut butter cups.
