I decided I was going sugar free for the month of March. Then I made these and decided April was the better month to go sugar free. Also, who else here puts m&m’s in their theatre popcorn? I can’t be the only one. Asking for a friend here. What is it about sweet and salty together?
Have you ever had someone invite you over for a girls night, or a small get together, or supper and you ask “what would you like me to bring?” But really, you only ask because 9/10 the person usually replies with “just bring yourself!” Well, there will come a day friends, when someone will betray you and reply with “just bring whatever is easiest! A snack or whatever. Nothing fancy.”
This recipe will save you. It’s not fancy. It’s not hard. But it is delicious. And it’s chewy. Best part? It’s sweet and salty, so best of both worlds. If there were two worlds.
You definitely should bring this to your next girls night. Watch Hugh Grant dance in his underpants in Notting Hill. Or raise your hands and say “Amen sister” when Bridget Jones is trying to get her wobbly bits to fit into her jeans. Whatever movie you watch, or whatever it is your bring these to… they’ll be appreciated.
My best friend and I are going to Banff for the week over spring break and we plan on having movie nights and eating junk food. Please comment your fave chick flick and fave snack, Preferably sweet and salty. I thank you in advance, my trainer will not. Just kidding, I don’t have a trainer.
