Peanut Butter Cup Martini

Thank you to The Motherhood and Real California Milk for sponsoring this discussion.

#CAmilkdrive
This peanut butter cup martini is the perfect dessert cocktail! (and ideal for after trick or treating and adult Halloween parties!)It's fall, and Halloween is on the horizon.  As we start to think about the holiday season…..it's family time.  From Halloween to Thanksgiving and beyond, we spend a significant amount of time around the table with family during the fall and winter months.  I'm teaming up with California Dairy Families to talk about family time and the importance of dairy intake (plus to share a pretty awesome way for adults to enjoy a Halloween cocktail).

We all know how important dairy is.   A single cup of whole California Milk contains nine essential nutrients, including eight grams of high-quality protein per serving, which is important to kids, moms and dads.  Did you know that milk is one of the most-requested nutrition staples at food banks? 

California Dairy Families are doing something amazing this fall. To help those who need nutritious California milk, California’s more than 1,400 dairy farm families are pledging $100,000 in matching milk donations to the Great American Milk Drive–equal to 20,000 gallons or 320,000 servings of milk–through the end of the year.  Want to help? You can donate one gallon of milk for just $5 at www.MilkLife.com/Give. $100,000 of total California milk donations made by the end-of-the-year will be matched by California Dairy Families. 

Awesome, right? To celebrate, I teamed up with California Dairy Families to create a fun way for moms and dads to enjoy the first holiday of the year…..Halloween! This peanut butter cup martini is the perfect Halloween cocktail, once your ghosts and goblins head to bed…….grown ups can create their own treat!

(teachers, you get it right?!?)I mean, HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO (or 20). This weekend was the start of Peanuts Celebration at Knott’s Berry Farm and we spent a day immersed in all things Snoopy.
