peanut butter snack

You know when you get to the bottom of a peanut butter jar and you feel guilty for throwing away that last tbsp that you you know you could scrape up but you're too lazy to bother? It makes a quick easy snack for kids. Simply tear up a piece of bread into bite-size pieces, stuffing them into the nearly empty pb jar. Get a spoon and stir it around, then drizzle about 1 tsp dark chocolate syrup into the jar. This ensures the kids dig around for every last bit and only adds about 3 grams of sugar to the snack. As soon as picky E. finished her snack, she asked when we could have it again! Try different varieties, like Sunbutter and oat bread. You could throw in some raisins to make it more like a pb&j. It bet it would be really awesome with banana bread!
