Mars bars were one of my favorite chocolate bars growing up. When I was little, I played Ringette and after every game my Dad would stop at 7-eleven and treat me to a drink and a chocolate bar. Most days I would choose an iced tea and the chocolate bar was always either Mars Bars or Areo.

1. This weekend we went to our community Christmas party at the lake. Fun, fun, fun! Our 2 year old was scared of Santa (even though it was secretly her papa.

This recipe is a family favorites. Sadly, I stopped making these a few years ago because of my son’s allergy to peanuts.
But this year Chris suggested making them using Peabutter (the alternative we use to peanut butter.) Yes! Why hadn’t I thought of that sooner? They turned out great! I can’t even taste the difference. I guess a bunch of sugar can mask anything 🙂

We have been busy today, making a few treats for our teacher’s gifts (another post with more details on that to come) as well as baking for our project.

Yup, we have been all about the dipping. Yesterday pretzels, today Candy Canes and Oreos!
Don’t they just look so yummy?
