Hi Friends!
Thanks for all the well wishes on the race yesterday! It went really well. It was the first year this 5K was put on and everything went really smoothly. It was sponsored by Panera and raised money for breast cancer research. I ran it in 27:37 and my goal was to finish in the 27th minute so hurray! I ran the whole thing without stopping and felt great afterwards! Already contemplating running another 🙂
And now, a fun little snack for you! Couldn’t be easier.
PB Chocolate Almond Clusters
Ingredients
- 1/4 c peanut butter
- 2 c unsalted, raw almonds
- 1/2 c dark chocolate chips, more if desired
Instructions
Melt the peanut butter in the microwave in a medium sized bowl.
Add the almonds and stir until well coated.
Spread the almonds onto a baking sheet covered in aluminum foil and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until peanut butter has cooled.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Add the almonds to the bowl of chocolate and stir until well coated.
Spread the almonds on the baking sheet again, on a clean sheet of foil.
Place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Break into clusters and store in an airtight container.
The perfect afternoon snack 🙂
Enjoy!
