Although my Chocolate-Peanut Butter “Pizza” isn’t much of a recipe per say, it sure is a “yummy-scrummy-I just-feel-like-having-something-good-to-eat” snack idea!
What can I say guys, the truth of the matter is this… I just haven’t been doing a lot of blog worthy cooking lately (this damn pregnancy, I tell ya!). And the few times I have made someting worth sharing, it’s so dark outside that I am unable to snap a worth while picture (I really need to get a light box!) and you guys know how I feel about really bad pictures (what’s the point?).
So that’s my sob story.
But just because I’m not doing a lot of cooking, doesn’t mean I’m not doing a lot of eating (funny how that works, huh?). I have been having a lot of small-snackish meals all day long and let me tell you, as no-brainer as this one is, it has become a favorite! It’s basically a sweet, indulgent, little something that I can feel good about eating.
All I do is take a small Ezekiel tortilla (whole grain, complex carbs), a spread of natural peanut butter (healthy fats with a kiss of protein), and a few chocolate chips (it actually never fails to suprise me how far a few chocolate chips can take ya), pop it in the microwave and volia’, my Chocolate-Peanut Butter "Pizza" is born. It’s fast, easy, satisying, and really filling and truth be told, sometimes I even have it for breakfast!
If you wanted to make it even more d’lishes, you can try adding some sliced banana or strawberries. I’ve tried them both and trust me when I tell you, they both work.
SO… do you guys have any super-simple, cold weather snack ideas that you have been enjoying? If so, I’d love to hear about them. I’m always looking for a new idea around here!

Yum. This sounds like a perfect indulgent (but still healthy) treat!
That looks fantastic. I love how you keep it super simple. What kind of chocolate chips did you use?
Amy -It is really good and SO easy!!
Kaman – I use Trader Joes’s chocolate chips… sometimes semi sweet, sometimes milk chocolate. TJ’s has great chocolate chips!
My roommate’s mom always has that crazy creamy, delish, yummy Jarlsberg dip at her house during the holidays and I could snack on it all day! Nothing special about cheese and crackers, but it’s my warm weather, holiday snack craving!
I have tried your “Pizza” and I must tell you – it was wonderful! I felt as if it was Christmas, snowing. (I live in Singapore, so I don’t get to enjoy the winter season.)
This pizza is simply lovely. Now, whenever I feel like having a snack, this is what i make. It’s so simple yet so amazing. Thank you Dani
Substitute honey for the chocolate chips and you have another really sweet treat and pretty healthy too.
