Trader Joe's Corn Cracker

I have found my new favorite cracker and of course it's only at Trader Joes. Lucky for me my parents live near the one in Des Moines, so I can get them fairly frequently. They are $2 a box. They are flavored with onion. They are amazing little crackers are good with dip or just alone by themselves. They are listed on the gluten free list that Trader Joe's has readily available. If you get there and don't know what to look for, ask an employee they are awesome with gluten free patrons! I think it's even worth a road trip, but that could be the two buck chuck (wine) calling for the road trip.

Easiest Dessert EVER!

I had these once at work and couldn't believe how much they tasted just like salted nut rolls. I found that all the peanuts at the store have MSG in them to help with "flavor". That isn't helpful those of us who are sensitive to MSG. I found that Trader Joe's has them without MSG. I bought 3 bags when I went to the Trader Joe's in West Des Moines a few weeks ago. Here is the recipe. It's fast and easy!!

Salted Nut Roll Bars

3 cups (1lb jar) dry roasted peanuts

2 cups peanut butter chips (more than a 12 oz pkg)

1 can eagle sweetened condensed milk

3 cups mini marshmallows

Butter a 9X13 pan - line with 1 1/2 cups nuts

Melt other ingredients in a double boiler and spread over nuts.  Top with the rest of the nuts and lightly press nuts into top of mixture.  Chill and keep in a cool place or in the refrigerator.

When ready - cut and eat.
