Snickers from Grandma: A Sweet Valentine on Fox 2

My love for the Snickers Bar runs deep.

My sass of a grandma was the absolute best. I keep her with me every day - her wedding ring is next to mine (ask to see it sometime!), and next to this priceless band, I learned many life lessons from her: buy, don't shop; go to the party; when the phone conversation is over, it's ok to just hang up (still can't get that one), laugh, I mean really, authentically laugh, and treat yourself.

She always had a bag of snack-sized Snickers (The real 2-bite snack sized Snickers, not those silly little nubs they pass on as snack-size now) on the top of her 5-foot icebox. I'd bee-line to that when we visited.

Years move along and life happens. Soon, you're under a deadline to create a recipe for a Valentine's Day TV segment and you blank.

I always gravitate toward chocolate, dates and peanut butter; they are a staple in my fridge at the shop.

I know there are a lot of peanut butter filled dates out there, but I've never tried this concoction. I figure, I know what they all individually taste like, why do I need to mash them?

Consider them mashed and HOLY MOLY! It's my Snickers!

Add a little glitter and a memory of someone you can remember clear as day who you shared this with, and enjoy your Valentine's Day. Mine is much sweeter now. xo
