PB Popcorn

Posted on by

If you haven’t tried our Heavenly Crunch (or Buckeye Crunch as we Ohioans refer to it as) – then you are totally missing out!!  It’s PB, Chocolate, Popcorn and Carmel!  HELLO!!  Is there anything better in the world??  Get yourself a case of it HERE.  Don’t worry, the entire case can easily be consumed in a very short amount of time. If you’re in Ohio, stop by my moms candy store (The Sister’s Sweet Shoppe) and try some free samples!  I am confident you will leave with your arms full of Heavenly Crunch.

But if that still doesn’t work for you – try this recipe Christy posted over at The Girl Who Ate Everything.  This is the perfect Christmas treat for those cold winter nights by the fire.  MMMM…. PB goes with EVERYTHING!!!!

PB Popcorn

1/2 cup unpopped popcorn or 16 cups popped popcorn
1 1/2 cups dry-roasted peanuts
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup all-natural Krema PB
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pop corn and remove any unpopped kernels. Place in a large bowl and stir in peanuts. (Jennifer pops hers in a 9X13 pan and keeps it warm in a 250 degree oven)
In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, honey and corn syrup.  Bring mixture to boiling, continue boiling for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.  Do not boil too long or your popcorn will be rock hard. Remove from heat.
Stir in peanut butter and vanilla.
Immediately pour over popcorn and stir to coat.
Serve warm or a room temperature.

All I want for Christmas…

Posted on by

I’ve decided that with my new ‘situation’ (that is: double pregnancy), that I need a cute maternity shirt to boot!  So I found one…

Ummm…can we say “PERFECT” ???  Really.  I love it.  I have to have it.  But now if I could just decide if I needed this one too…

I’ve been laughing all night at these adorable maternity shirts at Cafe Press.  Hahahaha!  Some of them are totally adorable!

I am serious though, I have to have the peanut shirt.  If only it said peanutS…

More Peanuts to Add to the Nutty Family Tree!

Posted on by

Hey all,

Y’know how I am always saying that my family is full of nutty people?  And I’m always joking around about how everyone else is so crazy?  Well, I guess I need to fill ya’ll in on my Nutty Situation…

I’m pregnant with TWIN BOYS!  IMG_1370

(Me & my hubbs holding an ultrasound photo of the twinlets)

I already have two little girlie peanuts (ages 3 & 4) and now we’re expecting two boy peanuts some time early next year!  I know, I know.  We are CRAZY!  Yes, I guess the peanut doesn’t fall too far from the tree….IMG_1341

(My cutie pie family after we just cut open two blue cakes to reveal we are having boys!)

Y’know whats even crazier?  I am not the first one in my family to have multiples!  My cousin Margo has TRIPLETS!  Yes, you read that right.  Triplets.  They just turned 8!  I’ve tried to tell you – my family tree truly is full of NUTS!!Where_did_the_8_years_go_

(Margo’s eight year old triplets :-) )

My mom’s oldest daughter (me) and my Aunt Nanette’s oldest daughter (Margo) will now both be the mothers of multiples!  That means that The Fruitcake Sisters (a.k.a. my mom and my Aunt Nanette) will both be the grandmothers of multiples!!  I think that they need to get some matching crazy shirts made that say something funny about it.  Any fun ideas???

oh and P.S.  I pretty much have been living on straight PB.  All-natural Krema crunchy PB of course, but most every thing else has made me sick.  These boys are already PB lovers “in utero!”  I love it!

I know, I know.  Sounds a little dog-gone gross, right??  Well, check out what my incredible and crazy Aunt Nanette came up with this time…DSCN1553

a “PB Hot Dog” Sammy!!

Use your favorite cinnamon bread, spread a generous amount of all-natural Krema PB on one side, then fold over a ripe banana!  Voila!  You’ve just made yourself a PB Hot Dog Sammy :-)

Re-create this at home with some kids for added fun :-)   Nanette of course tried this Sammy out on a couple of her grandkids…DSCN1554

(Thank goodness there isn’t REALLY a hot dog in there…eww!!)DSCN1555
