  6. Optional pops

Great Summer Recipes
Peanut Butter Cup S'mores Cookies placed on white paper with marshmellows in the background with green cloth

Campfire treats are great all year round! When you’re in the mood for something sweet, soft, and delicious, look no further than these Peanut Butter Cup S’mores Cookies. It’s a marshmallow on a JUSTIN’S® Classic Peanut Butter cookie, with a melted JUSTIN’S® Dark Chocolate Mini Peanut Butter Cup in the middle. All this s’mores talk got me in the mood for a campfire treat. Until next time!

 

justins nutty dirt n worms

It’s my favorite childhood classic with a better-for-you twist! This recipe combines with most delicious Chocolate Hazelnut Avocado Pudding with organic gummy worms, crushed cookies, and, of course, a Nut Butter Cup. Time to treat your inner child, my friend.

Peanut Butter Banana S'mores Bars stacked on top of each other with chocolate chips on a white top with a blue background

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.

 

What’s spookier than a mystery pretzel found in your suitcase purchased from an unidentified airport on an unknown trip from who knows how long ago? These Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Dipped Pretzels. And by spooky, I mean that in the spooktacularly-cute Halloween sense, of course. The mystery pretzel is the other kind of spooky.

Paleo Almond Butter Crusted Chicken on parchment papers with cut baby tomatoes and lemon slices on a wooden serving tray

This Paleo Almond Butter Crusted Chicken is anything but average. I’ve added JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter in the marinade to complement the chicken. I also use almond meal instead of bread crumbs and I promise you, the taste isn’t compromised. My family loves this recipe for dinner, and I think yours will too!

 

Chicken with Savory Almond Butter Sauce in a white pan with wooden handles in a white background with a white cloth

If you know anything about me, you know that I love food. I love to cook. Love to eat. The whole shebang. One of my favorites to make for friends is this recipe Chicken with Savory Almond Butter Sauce. I make the sauce with JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter, sliced mushrooms, and shallots—which are like garlicky onions. It gives it an amazing flavor that everyone at your party is sure to remember.

 

justins almond butter ssamjang

At this point, I have to ask, “what CAN’T almond butter do?” This Korean-inspired Almond Butter Ssamjang (which translates to “sauce for wraps”) is a sweet, spicy, and perfectly salty sauce that is phenomenal in a lettuce wrap or just as a dip for fresh veggies.
