This month has been amazing. I can’t even believe how much fun I’ve had, how many people I’ve seen, and how many experiences I’ve had during one 30-day period!
What I haven’t had this month… is a lot of extra time. I’ve been cutting corners here and there, shopping online, and trying to make the best use of the time that I have.
When it came to putting together a gift for my Grandpa this year, I knew he needed a sweet treat but I knew I didn’t have that much time to get all creative in the kitchen. And then, I found this recipe idea…
Holy deliciousness! This treat is a salty-sweet cousin to puppy chow and whips up in just a few minutes. And, it’s crunchy, delicious and a total crowd pleaser. I made this treat for my grandpa (of course!) and shared the leftovers with co-workers and friends… and, quickly we’re all hooked on this pretzel mix. Let me know what you think!
