Last day of May = Foodie PenPal Reveal day! Major props go to Lindsay at The Lean Green Bean for hosting this ever increasingly amazing project.
Be sure to pop on over to her and click around for more goodies that were sent and received. This month I received my package from Jennifer at Peanut Butter and Peppers. Anyone who has peanut butter in their name is fine by me! Jennifer always posts beautiful pictures of new creations she’s come up with, so I was certain my package would not disappoint.
And it didn’t. First up, barbeque sauce. I featured this pulled chicken sandwich in a WIAW post, but had to wait til today to reveal the sauce. The sauce is what makes the sandwich! After shredding the chicken, I mixed the barbeque sauce all over and the added some more on top. Very delicious. Next up is M & M cookies that Jennifer said she received her husband’s permission to share.
Now I know why she needed permission. Very good and unfortunately for Jonny, I did not share with my husband. 
I’ve declared my love for Trader Joe’s before, but I especially like how each store features different items. Well, actually I love and hate that fact because if I get something especially yummy, it’s usually the case that my TJ’s doesn’t carry it! Anyway, Jennifer sent me some dark chocolate nutty bites.
I looooved the combination of nuts and dark chocolate in these. I never really feel you can go wrong with nuts and chocolate, but these bite size nuggets were very yummy. The last of the package I received were more bite size treats.
Both of these goodies were picked up at a local Farmer’s Market which made me love them more. The granola was so delicious and I used it to top oatmeal, mix with milk, and just straight out of the bag my hand! The natural orange honey almonds had a good flavor, too. They made me want to recreate them myself which I think should be pretty doable. Be on the lookout, folks. Thank you, Jennifer, for all my treats!

want those nutty bits!!!
they’re SO GOOD! naturally my tj’s doesn’t carry them
So many goodies! Those dark chocolate bites look great!
they sure are!
I am so glad you liked everything. I had so much fun shopping for you. When I was walking the Farmers Market, I kept asking my friend, would my Foodie Pen Pal like these? I drove her nuts! Your pics make me want to go to the Napa Valley Farmers Market to get more BBQ Sauce, your sandwich looks amazing! And those nutty bites, terribly addicting! When I bought yours, I bought a bag for myself, and that was the first time I tried them. Oh man, the first night I ate 5 of them. My Husband was laughing at me, telling me to slow down on it. Glad a I still have a few left! I think I’ll have some when I get home from work! Have a great day!!
Thanks, girl!! You really did awesome with this package!!! I only have a couple nutty bites left too!!
Those nutty bits look awesome. Looks like some awesome snacks you got there
They are! Perfect combination of salty and sweet!
Oh those dark choc nut bites sound/look SOOO good! Yumm!
they are! love that they come in the nugget size, too!
I am obsessed with BBQ sauce so I’m totally jealous of that bottle of goodness. I’ve seen those nutty bits at trader joes before but I’ve never gotten them. They have always caught my attention though!
bbq sauces are fun to try and play around with!
Everything looks so good – especially the granola! Things from farmer’s markets always taste so homemade and delicious.
My favourite flavour of almonds is chocolate covered!
the granola was especially good!! it wasn’t too sweet and tasted roasted almost. chocolate covered anything is delish!
I love your jump splits photo.
Trying new things from Trader Joes is so fun.
hehe thanks i love taking those pictures! and tj’s is the best!
I could totally dive into those orange honey almonds!!
