White Chocolate Craisins Haystacks
Here is a super simple and delicious holiday treat that as the name suggests looks like a ‘Haystack’. I have seen recipes with lot of different ingredients but I liked the one with pretzels and peanuts the best. It could be because that these two are also my personal favorites when I need something to munch on. Peanuts are a good source of protein and Pretzels, a relatively low fat and low calorie snack, add subtle saltiness to the delicate white chocolate treat. I decided to add some craisins in the mix as well. They need no baking More >Microwaveable Peanut Brittle

Just before I started writing, I stumbled upon a website with a page for ‘Countdown to Christmas’. It said 17 Days, 22 Hours and 28 minutes… But who is counting? Well, we are all counting! My 21 month old is already trying to sing ‘Jingle Bells..’ and he is more in tune than I am..! I am glad I found some time today to do some holiday cooking. I warmed up my cold winter afternoon by making some Peanut Brittle and Almond Butter Cookies.
