Rome wasn’t built in a day. All good things come to those who wait. There are probably some other expressions about time and working hard that aren’t coming to me right now. These Chocolate Hazelnut Babkas take a little bit of time, but they are well worth the effort. They use JUSTIN’S® Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Butter and when served warm are a delicious snack for friends and family.

 

Almond Butter Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates on spoons on top of a wooden serving plate on a wood background

Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I love to dance. Full-on dad style. If you know anything else about me, it’s that I have a huge sweet tooth. One of my favorite ways to indulge my cravings for sweets is with my almond butter bacon-wrapped dates. I make it with fresh pitted dates, crispy bacon, and JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter. It’s so good it makes me feel like I could dance!
