Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Crepes

I am a big fan of weekends. Raise your hand if you are too. (I see those hands raised)

It seems like every Saturday I get the urge to make something super healthy and nutritious... oh wait, that's the future better version of Teesha.

Let's try again. It seems like every Saturday I roll myself out of bed simply motivated by the fact that I could combine butter and sugar to make something delicious for Jake and I to devour. There. That sounds more like it.

Last Saturday looked a lot like that. Crepes were on my mind. I was inspired by a picture of banana Nutella crepes, but since Nutella was nowhere to be found in my kitchen, I settled on peanut butter and chocolate sauce.


Here's what you need:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Peanut butter

3-4 bananas sliced

Hershey's syrup

Powdered Sugar

Cocoa Powder

Here's what you do:
-Make my crepe recipe (If you have your own, you can make that too. However, I don't guarantee that they will taste like the crepes I ate on Saturday).
-Smear peanut butter all over one side of a crepe.
-Lay a handful of banana slices on top.
-Drizzle with Hershey's syrup.
-Roll up the crepe.
-Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
-Sprinkle with cocoa powder.
Repeat with other crepes

Enjoy!

Starbucks Style Hot Chocolate

Can you believe we still have a whole month of winter left? I feel like it has lasted all year. Even though I am counting down the days to nice, warm weather, I can still enjoy the simple pleasures winter brings, like rich hot chocolate.

Are you a Starbucks fan, but can't afford the bill every time you are craving their sugary goodness? Well, I found a recipe that nearly beats Starbucks famous hot chocolate. Add a little peppermint or caramel to this and you'll never pay that $3-4 price again.

Recipe from: Instructables.com

Here's what you need:

1/2 cup water

4 Tbs cocoa powder

4 Tbs sugar

3 cups milk

2 tsp vanilla extract

Here's what you do:

-Combine water, cocoa, and sugar in a saucepan. Heat on medium-high and stir until the mixture starts to create steam, but doesn't boil yet.

-Add milk, then vanilla to the pan and stir until everything is mixed and the milk is close to boiling.

-Serve in your favorite mug topped with a generous serving of whipped cream.

Enjoy your last few weeks of winter!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Popcorn

Jake and I went to Trader Joe's a few days ago and found these de-li-cious mini milk chocolate peanut butter cups. I love them! In my personal opinion, they are better than Reese's. I combined them with popcorn and a little more sugar to create a great party snack.

Recipe slightly altered from Two Peas and Their Pod

Here's what you need:

-5 cups butterless, plain popcorn popped

-Salt

-1/4 cup honey

-3 Tbs sugar

-1/4 cup peanut butter

-1/4 tsp vanilla extract

-A dark chocolate bar

-3/4 cup Trader Joe's mini milk chocolate peanut butter cups (or mini reese's cups)

Here's what you do:

-Lightly salt the popped popcorn

-In a saucepan, combine honey and sugar. Stir regularly until it comes to a boil, then let simmer for two minutes.

-Add peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until well mixed and peanut butter is melted.

-Stir into popcorn while still hot.

-Spread onto wax paper.

-Use a micro-plane to grate dark chocolate on top of the popcorn. (Use as much or as little as you want)

-Allow to cool completely.

-Break popcorn mixture apart into small pieces.

-Place popcorn pieces and peanut butter cups in a bowl and mix well.

-Serve

I love finding new treats at Trader Joe's. What are your go-to Trader Joe's items?
