{Recipe} Viral Date Snickers Bark

 Here's another in my series of "Tiktok made me do it" posts.

I kept seeing people make this healthier Snickers treat and just had to try it myself.

I didn't use an exact recipe but got the general gist of the recipe and gathered my supplies.

Recipe:

Soft Medjool Dates-I used the Trader Joe's pitted date for extra laziness

Drippy Peanut butter-I used Kirkland brand

Chocolate chips-I used semi sweet

Peanuts-chopped (I used salted)

Flaky salt (optional)

To make:

• Split the dates in half and remove pit (if applicable). Press dates onto a wax paper lined tray and place right next to each other.  I used 16 dates.
• Cover with waxed paper and press down to make sure the dates are touching each other and flattened out.  I used a rolling pin to press the dates out.

• Pour peanut butter over the dates and spread to cover. I didn't measure but I'd say I used about 2 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter.

• Melt chocolate chips and pour over the peanut butter layer. Spread to cover all of the dates. I used about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.

• Some people added a sprinkle of flaky salt here but I left that out because the peanuts were salted but I think the added salt would have been just fine.
• Sprinkle the peanuts over the chocolate.  
• Freeze or refrigerate until chocolate has firmed up.

• Cut into squares. I keep mine in the fridge.

Enjoy a healthy-ish Snickers like treat!

Super Bowl CHAMPIONS!!

 We had a quiet Super Bowl Sunday but a great one! E-A-G-L-E-S!

The Champs!

We took a morning beach walk sporting our Eagles spirit.  We had a group chat going with Mr. Click's family to see everyone in their Eagles gear.

We needed to keep busy (why is the game on SO late?) so we hung up our new blinds in the bedroom.  It felt good to get a house job done. We also had food to prepare. We were invited to watch with friends but Mr Click could not watch with any KC fans so it was just the two of us.

We planned a snack-y dinner for the two of us.  

On the menu:

Buffalo Chick Pea Dip

Buffalo Cauliflower "Wings" & Homemade Ranch

Soft Pretzel Sticks

Trader Joe's Southwestern Salad

Tuna

Veggies and Dippers

I'm usually too tense to watch the whole game but I was able to get through this one. So exciting!

We celebrated with some Caymus cabernet.

Willow got in on the fun too.   It was definitely a Super Bowl for the memory books!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! Here are some things I've been loving lately.

{one year ago}

Celebrating one year in our new home! We've done so much to the house and are loving our new town and area.

OPI Nail Envy. I've been using this polish with the OPI Repair Mode.  I hope they come out with more colors.  This is my favorite neutral called Double Nude-y.

Going to yoga at my local studio. This was a very chill evening class. 

One of my old friends (we met in middle school homeroom!) came to see the new house and Mr. Click's band. It was a fun night!

My beautiful Valentine's Day flowers.  We also went out for a nice meal on Saturday and to see Captain America a Brave New World.  I love the new 'Cap!

These cropped corduroy Maddy pants from Costco. They are a really good dupe of the Anthro Colette pants that I love and a MUCH better price point!  What have you been loving lately?

Birthday Brunch & Shopping in Brooklyn

 We celebrated City Girl #1's birthday in Brooklyn. We had dinner plans but with a big snow/ice storm coming in, we changed our reservations to brunch at the same restaurant.

I dressed in layers for the chilly day and had my Uniqulo HeatTech leggings on as an added layer.

We stopped to get her some flowers and then headed to Brooklyn. We didn't hit any traffic (when does that happen?!) and got there early so we stopped in at our new favorite coffeehouse -The West Brooklyn to kill some time.  

We picked up each of the girls and drove to Rosticceria Evelina. We lucked out with parking right in front of the restaurant!  We had a delightful brunch and nice time together. I got the avocado toast and home fries. Yum!

We took City Girl to one of her favorite yarn shops in Brooklyn.

It was so pretty and I had to touch a lot of the yarn.

I thought this loom was so cool!  We treated to her some yarn to make another sweater (she is a master knitter!).

City Girl #2 was ready to go home so we dropped her off and went back to CG's apartment.  I helped her arrange the flowers-she didn't have a vase so we improvised a water bottle.  Mr Click fixed a few things in her apartment for her (Handyman Dad to the rescue!) and got to see her kitty Apollo.

We were too full after brunch for dessert, but later we treated ourselves to some cannolis to take home at an Italian bakery.  We wanted to get home before the snow started and she had homework to do so we had to say our goodbyes after the bakery.  Happy Birthday to my first baby! xo

{Shopping} Amazon Finds

I haven't done one of these round ups in awhile.

Office Chair

We got this deskchair for City Girl #1 for Christmas.   If I needed a desk chair, I'd consider this one because you can sit cross legged on it or on one leg as I tend to sit.

Corded Ear Buds

I needed a new pair of corded ear buds because the ones I had were no longer working well. I've been happy with this set.  I prefer the corded ear buds when walking so I don't need to worry if one falls out.

Sunglasses Visor Clip

This was a last minute stocking stuffer for Mr. Click and he loves them (they come in a handy two pack).

Moisturizing Heel Socks

My heels really needed some help and these little socks have been helping a lot! I wear them to bed and wake up with moisturized, softer heels!

Leopard Belt

I wanted a new leopard print belt and liked the thicker width of this one.  I'm amazed at how many outfits it goes with.

Seen here.

Magnetic Hooks

I've been finding lots of good uses for these handy hooks. I have them on the side of the fridge to hold a calendar, the side of the dryer to hold a collapsible hamper, to hang drying clothes, and on a rolling cart to hold a dustpan and brush.  They are small but mighty.

Nano Dots

I was influenced by Kathryn at Do It On a Dime to try these sticky dots.  I'm using them in the kitchen drawers to keep the organizers from shifting around. It has made such a difference! I'm sure I will find lots of other uses for them as well.

Barn Door Hardware

I mentioned finding the bifold barn door hardware in this post.

Velvet Pillow Covers

I've bought these now in three colors so suffice it to say I love them!

Zipper Pull Tab Replacement 

This was a literal life saver when my zipper pull broke off of my winter jacket's zipper.  It was not operable without it.  The pack came with a few so if we ever need to fix a zipper again (think suitcases, handbags, etc) we'll be set.

Here it is in use (with the corded ear buds) so I can brave the cold winter walks.

Diamond Dazzle Stick

I love this little stick for cleaning my rings which have been getting so dirty from constant use of hand lotion and washing.  I couldn't believe the gunk that was coming off of my rings!

Robe

I asked for and got this soft and cozy robe for Christmas. I've been using it pretty much every day. I love the shorter length and keep it in the bathroom for after my showers.
