Simple treat to statisfy tastebuds

 Hello Ladies,

Today I wanted to share a simple treat I made up many years ago. About 20 yrs ago when I cut out sugar, gluten and dairy from my diet (before Paleo was even a thing), I was trying to find a way to have an Almond Joy.  

At first I made this with coconut, sunbutter, honey, vanilla, chocolate chips, and a dash of salt. Through the years as I've aged I'm trying to watch my sweets and fat intake so I've adjusted it, and have a smaller portion. 

And just a side note, if I'm really stress or overwhelmed, I might have 2 helpings or bake a recipe I have for chocolate chip cookies for 2. It bakes 4 cookies.

Treats for me are reserved for once a week. I try to keep it to Sunday's as a way to celebrate in an extra way, but usually I have it on Saturday - if I have a treat at all. Sunday's are so busy for us especially with my husband as a Deacon in our church. 

Here is my little recipe for a simple treat to satisfy my tastebuds. Let me know it you try it.  All ingredients are flexible based on your craving or taste:

1 -2 T Rice Krispi's

Large spoonful of Sunbutter (or any kind of nut/seed butter)

Heaping of Chocolate  Chips

A good squirt of honey - for me not too much. Someone made this with Maple syrup, not sure about that taste with this treat.

Dash of salt

Opt. is tiny drop of vanilla

Mix and try not to eat it in 3 bites. 

The basic's and a small dish

  A Simple Treat
                                                                              
I hope you enjoy it. It's easy and I don't have to bake anything, all the more reason to like it.


May Christ's Peace be with you,

Dee

Hi, Dee!
I'm also trying to eat better, and today with all these fads throughout the internet, one does not know what is right or wrong. :S
So, I believe this is a good option for a sweet treat!
Have a blessed week!

I may try this with carob chips, or carob powder- I can't handle chocolate anymore...

Thanks, I hope you enjoy it! I haven't followed fad diets online, they all seem like I couldn't sustain them. This treat came from my cravings for an almond joy, that through the years I took out the coconut and added in lower calorie crunchies like the crispies.

I hope you like it. Just a spoonful can curb my need for a sweet treat.
