So the Lovey Dovey holiday is 5 days away and I'm going to say something I wouldn't normally say...DO enjoy yourself and DON'T beat yourself up if you have one too many sweets from your sweety :)! For the next 5 days: work out (that doesn't mean you have to kill yourself at the gym, just take the stairs and walk extra when you can) also, eat smart since you know that when Monday comes, you can afford some leeway with your diet. That being said, they wouldn't call me "hungrychix" if I didn't provide an alternative dessert recipe to the caramel dipped chocolate nutty bites that are so good to your tastebuds...not so good to your waist.
Peanut Butter & Pretzel Truffles
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup crunchy natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup finely chopped salted pretzels
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, melted (see Tip)\
PREPARATION
- Combine peanut butter and pretzels in a small bowl. Chill in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes. Roll the peanut butter mixture into 20 balls (about 1 teaspoon each).
