Acorns

    Less than a week till Thanksgiving! I'm so excited. To be honest I'm not exactly sure if I'm excited for Thanksgiving or if I'm excited that in a week Thanksgiving will be over and I can march right into Christmas with no shame. Not that I don't like Thanksgiving, but Christmas just has a bit more going for it.
    In light of the quickly approaching Thanksgiving, and all the holiday food hype that goes with it, I've decided to add another little recipe that i enjoyed making last week. It's quick, delicious (and good for you too) and makes a great little snack to munch on all day long because of course you must take advantage of the one day a year that you are able to lay off that diet and eat nonstop.

Peanut Butter-Chocolate-Pecan Acorns

Ingredients:

Pecans

Chocolate

Peanut Butter

Sesame Seeds

Flax Seeds

*Note-I don't have specific amounts because it really

all depends on how many you want, and it's pretty easy

to figure out yourself.

Directions:

(1) Take whatever chocolate you have decided to use (you don't need a lot) and put it in a double broiler or microwave or whatever ingenious way you come up with to melt it. (2) while your chocolate is melting you want to look through your bag of pecans and match them together according to size. (3) put some peanut butter on the backside (the flatter side) of the pecan and the smoosh it together with the backside of the matching pecan. (3) Once the chocolate has melted, you want to dip the wider ends of the pecans into the chocolate (being careful that the chocolate doesn't drip down the sides). (4) right after dipping it in the chocolate dip the ends covered in chocolate into a mix of sesame and flax seeds. (5) place them on a tray lined with wax paper and put them in the freezer till the chocolate and peanut butter become firm. (6) Remove from freezer and Nom Nom Nom!
