They a few super cute ones to choose from, but I decided to go with the mushroom back packs because they reminded me of Super Mario Bros. right away and I thought they would make a cute cosplay when we go to Dragon*Con.

Hazelnut Pancake Muffins with Once Again Nut Butter

I have never tried a hazelnut spread before. I know crazy, right? It is a thing that people have been going crazy over online, but I just never got on the hype. I recently had the opportunity to try out Once Again Nut Butter's Amore Hazelnut Spread. I was so excited to finally try hazelnut spread from a brand that I love.



I am in a Shelf Challenge right now. And basically the idea is to cut your grocery bill by being super creative and using up the items found in your pantry then save the savings. I have a ton of pancake and waffle box mixes for some reason. I have made a bunch of batches and frozen them, we have had breakfast dinner more times than I can count, but my favorite thing to do with pancake box mix batter is to make muffins for the kids. You can add anything you like: honey, fruit, sprinkles, etc. But this time I added Once Again Nut Butter Amore Hazelnut Spread.
