Mexicans Love Valentine’s Day Too

Fun· What Runners Eat

4 Feb

Hello! I am having the busiest day, but I wanted to stop in and say “Hola”. For real. First let’s talk running and eating my super pinterest worthy snack.

Running: Yes. I did.

Lately when I am braiding my hair for my run Vegas comes and hangs out with me. It’s nice since he’s my only fren.

I had to hit the store for a few supplies for a blog project (blogject?) and I spotted this NEW candy – Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups! Hey, I am a sucker for anything new, but I’ve been eating a lot of junk lately so I decided to pass (read: I’ll probably buy them tomorrow).

But, I couldn’t pass up this new to me Whipped Peanut Butter. I am legit all out of nut butter in my house (is a jar a week standard for anyone else) so I needed this…

And now I present – Peanut Butter and Jelly deconstructed.

Any guesses on what my special Valentine’s Day project is?

Hint: It’s just for me.

Because apparently Mexicans love candy hearts too. I spotted these conversation hearts in Spanish and thought ‘si se puede!’ – well, that or my brother would get a kick out of these so I’m taking a pic…

Question: Do you like candy hearts?

Do you try NEW products or wait until someone else tells ya they’re good?

    I can’t stand candy hearts. They taste so disgusting to me. Actually I am not really a fan of Valentine’s Day. To me it is just another Hallmark holiday.

    Oh I seriously really hope they have those Espanol hearts at my local Target. My kids would get the biggest kick out of them!!! For some (not so) strange reason they love love love the fact that they’re part MexiCan (from their momma).

    I love those candy hearts! And I usually wait to hear from other people whether a new product is good. Blogs are good for that, hahah

    I really love peanut butter, I will eat it in any form! I love trying new products, that’s how I have the abundance of nasty alcohol in my house that will never get used.

    I like candy hearts around V-Day. But what we really LOVE to do is wait till the day after then buy them all up because our horse LOVES them! He loves licorice too 🙂

    I buy a two pack of peanut butter at Costco and it’s about two weeks before I buy another two pack. That is for two adults and a dog…not sure who eats the most! If I got the whips I would have to hide it for just me!

    I did NOT like those cups. The filling was neither butterfinger or Reese’s-like. I would just buy a butterfinger and put a Reese’s cup on top. Boom.

    Definitely do not like candy hearts. I do like lots of other types of candy though. Also that whipped PB sounds heavenly. Good move.

    I do not like candy hearts (I mean, if someone were to give them to me I’d be grateful, so maybe I’m just single and bitter). I’m usually the person bringing new food products to parties for everyone to enjoy or suffer through together. I am currently on the hunt for those red velvet Oreos.

    I like candy hearts and I love cinnamon hearts! I am not one for trying new foods. I tend to go with tried and true – guess I’m boring that way.

    I don’t like candy hearts but peanut butter… oh yeah. I bought a jar of that stuff last summer. So yummy. The best though: Canadian whipped Kraft peanut butter, a lot lower in sugar.

    I have never liked those candy hearts. They taste like chalk. And I will try anything new as long as it’s chocolate based.

    I’m so far out of the loop that often what I think is a new product, has actually been around for awhile. So I’ll say to someone, hey, have you seen that new xxx?? And they will say yeah, it’s been around for like a year. Fail.

    I don’t like candy hearts. I do, however, like chocolate hearts!!

    I have had those Butterfinger cups – they’re really good!

    I like the sweettart candy hearts – not a fan of the chalky kind.

    I love trying new products – I’m a sucker for anything labeled “limited edition” too! 🙂

    If you cave and try those butterfinger cups tomorrow let me know how they are. Two of my favorite candies so I hope it works.

    I like candy hearts.

    My dog always hangs with me when I do my hair. Pets are the best.
