Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Dip

July 2, 2016November 27, 2016 Melissa King Leave a comment

I recently made a Brownie Batter Hummus that got really good reviews. So this Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Dip is another variation of dessert hummus. It’s PERFECT for summer because who really wants to turn on the oven in this heat?

This is dough you can eat straight up, or you can thin it out to make the dip. Win win all around in my opinion.

This Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Dip is super easy to make. Vegan and gluten free. You only need 4 ingredients + water if it’s needed. Serve with fruit, graham crackers, or eat it by the spoon! 🙂 If you do feel like baking this, I think that could also work.

The other day in my Facebook group, someone shared a picture of this Brownie Batter Hummus. It looked seriously good. I knew I wanted to create a homemade version. You know I love a recipe challenge! 🙂

You may also want to check out my copycat Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs or my Homemade Ding Dongs.

My Brownie Batter Hummus only contains 4 simple ingredients and super easy to make!! It only takes a few minutes to mix up.

You guys! This stuff is GOOD! I wanted to just eat it with a spoon! This brownie batter hummus would be great with fruit or graham crackers. You can also spread it on toast, waffles or pancakes.

Or you can be like me and just eat it with a spoon! This hummus is healthy and it also comes with a boost of protein and fiber. It’s vegan, gluten free and grain free. It can easily be made nut free as well.

No Bake Snickerdoodle Truffles (Vegan)

May 14, 2016February 27, 2018 Melissa King 6 Comments

Put these No Bake Snickerdoodle Truffles on your must make list! When I was shopping at Whole Foods the other day, they were giving out samples of these vegan snickerdoodle truffles.

While they were very delicious, the ingredients were definitely not the healthiest. So when I got home, I set out to make my own version and I think they came out pretty good.

If you love truffles, you must also check out these dark chocolate raspberry truffles, and these pecan caramel truffles.

This healthier truffle recipe contains only 6 simple ingredients and requires no baking! It’s also vegan, gluten free and paleo approved.

I plan on taking them to my neighborhood wine party this weekend and I hope they will be a hit.

Sweet and Spicy Roasted Peanuts

These Sweet and Spicy Roasted Peanuts will become your new favorite snack. Perfect for game day snacking too. They pack big flavors with hints of sweetness and an extra kick of spices. Just like my maple glazed pecans, this recipe is going to be hard to stop eating!

If you have an allergy to peanuts, I do think any other nut should work as well. Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds might also work for a nut-free option. You can make these up in about 10 minutes. Super easy snacking!

I also think roasted chickpeas may be delicious with this seasoning. I think I will try those next. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these roasted peanuts as much as we did!
