My Sweet & Salty Treat

I will admit, every so often I cave into some good ole snacking. I just can’t do healthy all the time. I have a weakness for all things with a sweet and salty mix. Since the holidays have come and gone, all the “store bought” stocking candy, cookies and all those goodies are almost all gone. Thank goodness! However, last night, I just had one of those weak moments. You know, the kind were you go searching through the pantry, candy dishes, so called “secret stashes” and nothing helps that craving. So, what is a girl to do? Make her own sweet and salty treat!!!
I dug through our pantry and found these ingredients: Bugles, chocolate morsels, peanut butter.coconut oil and Reeces Pieces. (Thanks to my wonderful hubby, the Reeces Pieces were in my stocking). I even got a huge jar of peanut butter in there too. Peanut butter happens to be one of my favorite foods, if you could even call peanut butter that!!
I then decided to melt the chocolate morsels, peanut butter and a tad of coconut oil in the microwave. The coconut oil helps the chocolate melt better and therefore it doesn’t harden or scorch as easy. Just in case you are wondering, I melted the chocolate about a minute and a half. This should be what is looks like when melted.
I then dipped the opened end of the bugles in the chocolate. (You know, when you were a kid, the end that you stuck your fingers in and pretended you had super long claws ) Funny, how we were taught as kids not to play with our food, but I never got in trouble while eating Bugles.
Anyways, after dipping the Bugle in the chocolate, “stuff” a Reece Pieces in to the end and place on waxed paper or silicon mat and let the chocolate harden. The hardening will take about a ½ hour up to an hour. Once the chocolate is settled, scoop them up and place in a bowl to enjoy now or place in an airtight container if you plan on saving them.
I hope you enjoy these and I have listed the measurements I used below:

1/4 cup of chocolate morsels
1/8 teaspoon of coconut oil
1 tablespoon of peanut butter
1 cup of unbroken Bugles (I ate the ones that wouldn’t work ) lol!
1/4 cup of Reeces Pieces

Again, just melt the first ingredients in the microwave for 1 ½ minutes. Dip bugles and stuff with a Reeces. Place on silicon mat or waxed paper and let cool. Enjoy!
