This is the best portable and traditional snack I’ve ever invented. Smiles 😛
“GORP” is “Good Old Raisins and Peanuts”
That’s great! Except when I walk through the health food isle it’s peanuts, M&Ms, sweetened pineapple, sweetened coconut, sweetened…
Good Old Raisins and Peanuts (GORP) goes one of two ways: Succumbing to M&Ms or other sugary transgressions; or living up to its nourishing name with “Good Old Raisins & Peanuts”. Somewhere, ideas about what was sweet and nourishing became very confused. Enter M&Ms or even chocolate chips (even if organic, etc).
Our roots are fruits and nuts. Bring it on!
Let’s have some nourishment in every snacking bite, this tastes so good and is naturally sweet. Enjoy the simple recipe:
