Wow! What a way to kick off 2020! We are so excited to announce the newest addition to the Life’s Grape collection of handcrafted snacks, Peanut Butter Dipped Vine Dried Grapes. The inspiration behind this came from our love for the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It’s a little nostalgic and always brings back happy memories - from school lunches, to snack time, to that sticky mess you created when you first tried to make it yourself.
This new treat is made from the same Selma Pete vine dried grapes, just now dipped into a rich coat of creamy peanut butter. As reminiscent as a PB&J sandwich is, you can also think of this new snack as the easy (and mess free) version of ants on a log!
We know we’ve filled you up on our favorite recipes for the Classic, Minis, and Dark Chocolate Dipped Vine Dried Grapes, but today - we are here to switch things up and share all things sweet & savory with the new Peanut Butter Dipped product. These treats are amazing alone, but we have a quick recipe up our sleeves that will have you snacking all day long.
