Sweet tooth and cheat snack

Now when it comes to ''cheat days'', it is only one meal every week or two weeks (however long you want to go). It is not a cheat DAY, that is where self sabotage happens. You are what you eat and you cannot get the physique you want by eating high caloric foods throughout the day, doesn't matter if you exercise twice a day and just whatever you want because you exercise. It just does NOT work like that. What you put in your body is a reflection of yourself. So I choose carefully of what I eat. I found this little recipe on top of an all natural peanut butter jar. I tried it and it is now a new cheat snack for me!

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Almond Clusters
1/2 c. dark chocolate chips
1/4 c. smooth all natural peanut butter
1/2 c. chopped whole raw almonds
1/3 c. sweetened dried cranberries
1/8 tsp. almond extract (or vanilla extract)

Put chocolate chip sin a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth and then stir in the peanut butter. Add the almonds, cranberries and almond extract (or vanilla). Stir until coated and then spread onto a non stick sprayed cookie sheet. I used wax paper instead. Chill in the fridge for an hour or until firm. Break apart and enjoy!
