This is a partnered post with Smuckers. All opinions are my own.
It’s easy to pick up supplies for apple dippers (apple slices paired with Smucker’s Peanut Butter) at Walmart while we are on the road and just as easy to prepare a batch of cookies to take along. Want to see some of the places we have been enjoying our snacks? Hmmm. Maybe it is like a snackation? Here’s the world’s tallest Superman Statue located in Metropolis, Illinois. I wonder if Superman likes cookies? We would share!
After a 3 1/2 mile hike around this tranquil lake in Lebanon, Kentucky, there’s nothing like the apple dippers to give us a quick burst of energy.
We’ve been enjoying the local scenery too. Having a young child means no one will give you strange looks if you decide to play in the fountain at Coolidge Park, Chattanooga. Or maybe they will, but having the child makes them easier to ignore.
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- (1/2 teaspoon vanilla, optional)
- 1/2 cup EACH pecans & chocolate chips)
- Mix peanut butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla (if using) until blended. Stir in pecans and chocolate chips. Roll into balls and place on baking sheet. Make a criss cross pattern with a fork. Bake for ten minutes at 350.
Are you planning any vacations or staycations? What are your favorite snacks to keep in the car?

My friend would be all over these. She needs to be gluten free and is always trying to find yummy desserts that she can eat.
Ohh I do love a good cookie and its been ages since I’ve had a peanut butter one, perhaps I should treat myself to baking some. x
