The temperatures are starting to fall here in middle Tennessee and I’m so ready for all things fall! This is a nesting season for me and lots of you I’m sure, which means I’ll be talking more about cleaning, cooking, decorating and baking! My oldest daughter was home for fall break this past weekend, and we had planned on baking pumpkin bread, so as I hurried through grocery shopping, I picked up a can of regular pumpkin. Or so I thought. Read on to see how this oops became a tasty recipe and a lot of fun!

Labor day is drawing ever closer and my home and garden magazines are chock full of delightful “fall” desserts, tempting me to bake pies and breads and cookies! Tempting as all those recipes are, it’s still too hot for me to consider having my oven on for more than a quick broil here and there, so I was thrilled when asked to try out the latest THINaddictives cookies from Nonni’s. We got to indulge our sweet tooth with dark chocolate almond thins when I received a complimentary  box of items from Nonni’s who did the baking for us.  If it’s still too hot for you to bake sweet treats as well, then this giveaway is for you! All opinions expressed are my own.

About Nonni’s Dark Chocolate Almond THINaddictives:

Made for dark chocolate lovers wanting a guilt-free treat, each cookie is lightly drizzled with real, dark chocolate.  

Nonni’s new line of THINaddictives comes in three tasty flavors:

Dark Chocolate Almond Banana:

My daughters liked these best, noting they could tell these were made with real bananas and the dark chocolate drizzle had just the right amount of sweetness.

Double Dark Chocolate Almond:

These were my favorite, which came as no surprise to anyone! I love dark chocolate and almonds! I love that I could see and taste the chunks of almonds.

Dark Chocolate Cherry Almond:

These were my husband’s favorite, with good reason. The flavor profile is subtle, yet very tasty. He wants to pair them with some cream cheese and grapes.

I served each flavor of Dark Chocolate Almond THINaddictives with fruit for and afternoon snack and found it a delightful flavor combination!

I can feel good about my family enjoying these since each treats average 70 to 80 calories and come in pre-portioned freshness packs with two almond thins each, making it the perfect on the go snack for busy families!

I invite you to learn more about the Nonni’s brand by getting social with them. As a small business owner, I’m always intrigued by the family behind the brand.

Every Sunday I sit down with my teen daughter’s- planner or family calendar in hand and touch bases with them on their upcoming activities.  If you have school age kids, then you know that their schedules can rival any busy adults these days! 

Both my daughters are active in choir, theater and clubs, so it seems like all of their waking hours are gobbled up by studies or important obligations. That’s why I schedule a daily snack time for my kids.  They expend a lot of energy in their daily lives, so it’s important that we allow kids time to unwind and decompress and thanks to today’s sponsor, Betty Crocker, my girls will get a #MySweetRewards cookie bar to enjoy after school.

My daughters are usually famished by the time they get home from school each day, even more so if they’ve had an after school activity, so I try to serve them something healthy first like fruit or cheese sticks with milk and then, if they have a sweet tooth, I’ll give them a small serving, like a cookie or half one of these delicious Betty Crocker Sweet reward bars.

These bars are a new item from Betty Crocker and are on sale now at Publix, where you can  save $ 0.50 on any one box of Betty Crocker Sweet reward bars by downloading the coupon from readyplansave.com They come in three flavors: Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar, Caramel Brownie Bar and Butterscotch Blondie Bar.  

My Publix store had the boxes on sale 2 for $4.00, so we bought the Chocolate chip cookie bars, which have little chocolate chips on top to add to that chocolate goodness and Butterscotch Blondie bars that have little rainbow chips on top.  Each bar is so thick and flavorful, with a layer of chocolate on the bottom, it would be a challenge to eat it all anyway.

Win it!

Thanks to our sponsor Betty Crocker #MySweetRewards, one lucky reader will receive a $15.00 PayPal cash transfer, so you can purchase your own sweet rewards.

I can still remember it like it was yesterday- the diaper bag and my purse never left home without a fresh supply of Original Cheerios when my girls were little ones. Fast forward a decade and I’m still serving up Cheerios for snack time.  I don’t put them in my purse as often as I used too, but Cheerios are still a favorite part of snacking here. My kids cheer and thank me when greeted with this yummy after school Cheerios Trail Mix snack.
