After church on the baseball mound yesterday, I was telling some of the brethren about a snack I had attempted, and was quite sure wouldn’t live up to the vision that inspired it. I am delighted to report that I was wrong. I do think that it would have a broader appeal with sweeter, smoother, truly melted chocolate; but I in no way botched it by adding a tablespoon of maca powder and using 88% cocao. The post title is a hyperbole, but a few crunches in, and those were the words that followed, ha. To God be the glory, amen?
chocolate peanut butter cheerio situtation
2 cups gluten free cheerios
1/2 cup 100% peanut butter {no added oils, sugars, or salts}
5-6 medjool dates, pitted + chopped
1 tablespoon {or less} maca powder
{would probably be delicious with cinnamon}
3 oz melted dark chocolate
mix together in a bowl and set aside in what form you’d like to consume it.
Notes: I didn’t bother to ball or bar it, but I did press it into a glass baking dish and stuck it in the fridge – more to salve my roomie’s aversion to critters than to intentionally chill it {since I was out of vacant containers and had to use saran wrap}.
I ‘melted’ the chocolate using about a tablespoon of butter and goat milk, each; but the consistency was too thick and I was impatient. I recommend spending more time on that step, and perhaps dropping the % of cocoa to the 70s. However, the original outcome really hit the spot and resulted in fewer grams of sugar over all/per serving. ‘Twas less decadent dessert and more surprisingly good and actually healthy, hardly processed trail mix in the REI checkout line.

One response to “the most delicious thing I’ve ever had…”
