Project 365 – #081 I think the peanut butter – creamy or crunchy – debate may be right up there with the toilet paper – over or under – debate. Our house is pretty much split. Munchkin does not care for crunchy peanut butter unless it’s in something (like cookies). D prefers crunchy, but he’s fine with creamy.

Can I let you in on a little secret? I really like crunchy snacks. There is just something satisfying about crunching on a yummy treat when I’m hungry. Unfortunately, all too many crunchy snacks aren’t that good for me, so I either have to sacrifice flavor or crunchy snacking. (Obviously, there are some good healthy, crunchy snacks such as apples and carrots which are regular snacks around our house.) When I was asked if I would like to try out Crunchy N Yummy snacks, I jumped at the opportunity. After all, they were certified organic, freeze-dried fruit! These snacks sounded…
