Today is a fun day to celebrate for many reasons. It's Kids Take Over the Kitchen Day, Blame Someone Else Day, and International Chocolate Day. Plus, it's National Peanut Day, too!
Did you know that most Americans will eat over six pounds of peanuts and peanut products a year? We eat enough peanut butter to make 10 billion sandwiches. That makes peanuts the number one snacking nut in the US. The National Peanut Board did a study on how people like their peanut butter. The majority went with creamy but, looking at only men, crunchy won. The East Coast go for creamy while the West eat more crunchy.
So celebrate big - maybe grab your kids for some fun cooking of chocolate covered peanuts or peanut butter chocolate chip brownies. Make a mess. Purposely drop the flour and drip melted chocolate in the microwave. Hey, just blame the kids! (Of course, nothing was said about cleaning it up...that will be on you.) :)
