Sprinkles and the New Year

I've been staying with my Godmother for the past few weeks and noticed a lonely bottle of sprinkles sitting on a rack in the pantry. Today, the first of the New Year, was the day I finally decided to put it to use.

It is perhaps the most juvenile concoction ever to have come to my mind: peanut butter, semisweet fudge, honey, and sprinkles on wheat bread.




I was going for a nutella/peanut butter type sandwich with sprinkles.  [side note: nutella contains palm oil, which very likely contributes to rainforest deforestation and habitat loss for orangutans among other things--I'm disappointed to find that it's in KitKat bars and used in Kar's Nut mixes too]

Since the fudge said semisweet, I reasoned that honey would be a good way to sweeten the deal.

The sprinkles contributed exquisite texture and color to the experience. The sandwich was acceptable, but really I'd rank it a 2 or 3 out of five. All in good fun, here's to 2011!
