The other night, while watching TV, I seemed to only notice the TWIX and M&M commercials… of course, the things I will not be eating anytime soon! Then the craving set in… I scurried through my kitchen thinking how badly I wanted chocolate and what could I do with my cocoa powder to satisfy this. I tried mixing cocoa with some natural peanut butter – meh, not what I wanted. Then I hit up Google and found so many recipes for homemade snacks and treats! Did you know you can make your own “Cheese-Its”, “Oreo’s” and “Nutella”? Oh, yeah – I’m sure gonna try!
This whole process started not because I needed to eat healthier meals, but because I wanted to reduce my cravings for quick-snacks. As much fun as it sounds to make all these yummy homemade treats, I’m guessing that this will force me to ration my portions simply because I know that I will NOT be making these snacks as often as you can just grab-n-go from the convenience store.
My next agenda is to make and stock-up on homemade condiments (Ketchup, Mustard, Hot Sauce, Salad Dressing, Vanilla Extract) and quick snacks (Hazelnut Spread, Cheesy Crackers, Oreo’s, Granola Bars). I anticipate these items taking a lot of time… I just hope everything tastes up to par!
I will post recipes and pictures once I get to the baking. Happy Cooking! J
