Nutty

We’re so sad we missed out on National Peanut Butter Day (January 24th). Who knew there was an entire day devoted to nuts?

Well, we like the nut butter. So when a note from Crazy Richard’s landed in our inbox, we were intrigued. Yes, we like the nut butter. We already said that. We also like the fact that a “crazy” person has his own line of peanut buttery goodness. But most importantly, we LOLed at the company name. Let us break down why:

BWAAA HAAAA HAAAA! Happy inner 12-year-old!

In all seriousness, Crazy Richard’s offers nut butters made with 100% nuts and zero additives like sugar, salts, or oils. Basically, good nuts to stick in your mouth.

Here’s one of Crazy Dick’s, errr… Crazy Richard’s recipes. 

​PB Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites

Recipe and Photo by Marissa of Marissa Rea Photography

Ingredients:
½ cup Crazy Richard’s Peanut Butter
¼ cup dairy free chocolate chips
2 TBSP maple syrup or sweetener of choice
½ cup 100% pure pumpkin
1/3 cup coconut flour (add more or less as you go to thicken the dough)

Chocolate Dip Ingredients:
Vegan chocolate melts or
1 package dairy free chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil

Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients (except chocolate dip ingredients) and mix until well incorporated. Roll into 12 to 18 balls (depending on how big you prefer. There’s a joke here…) and place in the freezer to chill for about 15 minutes. When chilled, remove and set aside.

For Chocolate Dip: Melt ½ cup vegan chocolate (or melt the chocolate chips and mix in the coconut oil). Dip and cover the dough balls in your chocolate and place on a tray with parchment paper to set. Place in the fridge to chill until ready to eat. Can be frozen to last longer!
