In the winter some of my favorite guilty pleasures are sweets. Adams® Natural Peanut Butter allows me to create healthy and yet tasty and satisfying snacks. This following recipe is a fun new twist on the old ants in a log. It’s deliciously tasty and even better when enjoyed on thee go!
Peanut Butter Apple & Cucumber Lettuce Wraps Recipe
Ingredients:
- Butter lettuce
- 1/2 cup of Adams® Natural Chunky Peanut Butter
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped cucumber
- 1/4 cup chopped apples
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tsp honey
I started first by chopping all of my ingredients. I wanted bite size pieces so I diced them small. I used a chunky peanut butter and honey to hold it together.
Simply mix together until well combined.
If you’re going for a hike or staying active outdoors you could easily take this mixture with you and keep bread or butter lettuce in another container. I filled each piece of lettuce and served. The kiddos love them and they’re a fun new twist on the old ants on a log.
