So, I have a special treat for you guys today!
That my friends is Peanut Butter and Chocolate Stout Popcorn aka Peanut Butter and Chocolate Crack! Very messy crack to be exact!
I originally made this recipe a few weeks ago. I was kind of disappointed the chocolate and peanut butter did not harden much and started to melt in my fingers. I was disappointed until I made more the other night and realized that melted PB and chocolate isn’t a bad thing! Peanut Butter and Chocolate is such a great combo on the popcorn {on anything really}. And licking the melted mess off my fingers added to the fun.
So there’s the warning. This stuff is messy, amazing, goodness! Just have wet naps on standby.
I used Crunchy Peanut Butter in this recipe for added texture, and I’m so glad I did! You could also add some toasted nuts for more texture. Pecans, Walnuts, Almonds, or Peanuts would work.
Jupiter Hammerheads
Friday, we attended our first baseball game at Roger Dean Stadium. Roger Dean offers a 12 pack of tickets for $72. I originally though we’d never be able to use that many tickets. Do we know 12 people here?
Huck and I started asking around and were really surprised when everyone we invited to the game showed up. By everyone, I mean everyone we’re friends with here! We invited everyone over for hotdogs at our house before heading over.
I laughed as all 14 of us, came walking out of our house in a single filed line. I’m sure the neighbors were wondering how many people could fit in our tiny place!
As I bought the tickets, I asked the guy what seats he had available, he laughed and said we could sit where ever we wanted. He wasn’t kidding either. When our group of 12 {one couple didn’t go to the game} walked in, it looked like we had the whole place to ourselves.
In one of our group pictures, it actually looks like we’re the only ones there.
It was extremely quite too! Uncomfortably quite! There was one guy, sitting across the stadium from us that would scream “Heeey pitchaah… pitchaah!” “He’s going for it!”, and he sounded like Peter from Family Guy. It would be dead silent and all you could hear was this one guy. I’m sure the pitcher wanted to chuck the ball at him a few times.
In the end, the Hammerheads won 12-1. Apparently, Jupiter’s minor league team is pretty good, or Charlottes’ team is just that bad!
