SKIPPY YIPPEE!®
I've been called a lot of things, but I've never been called a "helicopter mom." That's probably because the only way to survive with me as your mother is to have a healthy sense of self-preservation and the motivation to fend for yourself.
That pretty much explains why it's Alexis who tells me when it's time to leave for school and not the other way around. She reminds me to sign her homework every morning. She tells me how to make schedules work. She's basically the responsible adult in our equation, which YAY! That means I don't have to be!
Okay, so I do. She's not old enough to drive just yet, so I still have to be the person who runs to the store for groceries and such. When she is old enough to drive, I'm willing to bet she will happily volunteer to do the grocery runs because she will happily go spend all of my money on these.
SKIPPY® P.B. Bites.
You guys. YOU GUYS. We got them for review purposes, but they are quickly becoming a permanent part of our lives. There are two flavors -- Pretzel and Double Peanut Butter and YOU GUYS. Double Peanut Butter. They are peanut butter wrapped in peanut butter and how can they be anything other than amazing?
They're so amazing that I hid a container. Shhh! Do not tell the small people, but there's a container of SKIPPY® P.B. Bites Double Peanut Butter stashed at the top of a pantry shelf because I might need them. I don't want to share. I am very excited about having a little stash of delicious snacks that are easy to get into and that don't leave behind a tell-tale mess.
Why, yes, I am the sort of mom who ducks into the pantry and eats food she doesn't want to share. So what? It is only fair, after all, since Alexis hid the SKIPPY® P.B. Bites Pretzel in her dance bag.
OH YES. SHE DID.
She thinks I don't know, but I am fully aware that she stashed them so she could grab a snack on the go without having to share.
That not sharing this is working out well for her.
That motivation to fend for themselves thing is working well, obviously.

At the drive-in movie, for a snack...
As an after school snack or on the go.
Who says PB Bites can only be enjoyed by kids? They're all mine! Muahaha!
I think they would have them most as an after school / homework snack! but definitely a weekend, watching movies snack too :)

They'd go in kids lunch boxes.
My son would love to eat these as a snack at home or on the go.
My kids love them as snacks. Either when they come home from school or when in the car between school and sports. Thanks so much.

My children would enjoy SKIPPY® P.B. Bites in their lunches and at snack time.
My daughter is in college. She'd probably use these as a healthy snack before a test or on the run.
I can see these being enjoyed on a road trip or a day at the park.
My grandsons would like them for snacks when I take them to the skate park.
These will definitely be coming with us on our road trip this summer!
This would be a great snack for adults and children with lots of protein. It would be great on the go!
I'm sure my daughter would enjoy Skippy P.B. Bites while we're traveling in the car. Thanks for the giveaway!

I would enjoy them while in vacation! We love to try different and special treats on our summer trips!
My kids would love these either as a snack after school. These would also be perfect when we're on the go or when we're traveling and just want some snacks to hold the kids over. Thanks so much.
On the nature trails at the park, road trips and movie night. Great any time!
Children? Nah. Mine are in their 40s. I am a PB nut (no pun intended). I even spread PB on my chocolate ice cream. I no longer make PB cups because I eat them all by myself! I would keep them in my office so I can grab them whenever I get hungry or a craving for peanut butter.
I'd be in heaven with a go-to snack like this. It's a great source of protein and within my limits of carbs and calories.
We will take them on trips to the zoo and the beach and park

I am sure my children would like them for on the go snacks, but the real eaters would probably be the grandchildren, who might have them totally gone very rapidly.
As an after school snack.

My kids will pack Skippy P.B. Bites in their baseball and track bags as a great energy boosting snack. Many times dinner is delayed due to sports and I worry they aren't getting enough fuel to do their best.

After naptime! Give her an energy boost!
