Chocolate-Dipped Cinnamon Triscuits Make a Delicious and Unique Holiday Gift

December 12, 2017 by Kathryn 7 Comments

Ever since I was a child, Triscuit crackers have been my very favourite crackers. I love the crunch and texture of the whole wheat squares and I often have them with a few slices of cheese and some fresh veggies for a light lunch.

I’ll always have a special place in my heart for the original Triscuits, but I also adore the different flavoured crackers that are now available. The Roasted Garlic Triscuits are perfect for a charcuterie board. And the Balsamic & Basil crackers have the most addictive tangy-sweet flavour.

I absolutely love holiday baking, and I’ve mentioned before that I often go overboard making sweet treats for family and friends during the holidays. But because I’m a busy mom, I do tend to favour quick and easy recipes over fussy and finicky ones.

So, when Kraft Canada challenged me to come up with a delicious holiday recipe featuring everyone’s favourite couple, Kraft Peanut Butter and Baker’s Chocolate, I decided to put a new twist on my old favourite by turning it into a peanutty, chocolatey treat. And the resulting Peanut Butter Chocolate Cracker Brittle was absolutely addictive!

Having been on quite a few road trips recently, I’ve really come to appreciate the importance of having lots of snacks in the car. I like to pack a mix of healthy snacks and treats so that we’re still getting some nutrition but also have special foods to make the trip more fun. That’s why I love bringing along a bag of fat-free, gelatin-free and peanut-free candy from Dare Candy Co!

So what makes Dare gummies, jubes and candies such a great treat option for those family trips? For one thing, there’s plenty of variety! For classic candy fans, choose from Dare Red Licorice and Black Licorice REALJUBES. Prefer a chewier texture with lots of fruit flavours?

There are some things that have the power to instantly make me feel young again, and one of those things is Werther’s Original® caramel candies. Unwrapping one of the hard caramels and letting it slowly dissolve on my tongue reminds me of when that Werther’s Original® candy was a special treat from my dad or one of our family friends.
