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!

You can make lots of things in a skillet, one of my personal favorites is making my Peanut Butter Cup Oatmeal Skillet Cookie recipe.

This cookie comes out of the oven crispy at the top, gooey in the middle.

I love to throw parties for friends and family. Sometimes they get a little crazy and we have to tell Grandma to stop dancing on the table. But, when she gets a hold of these almond coco-nutty buddies, it’s really hard to get her to stop. With JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter packed into every bite, it’s hard to blame her. Get down from there, Grandma. You’re going to break something.
