Many of you know that I blog my fitness exploits over at Muscle Made Simple. Currently I am in a cutting phase, which means I’m on a much stricter meal plan. Lots and lots of chicken, rice, oatmeal, protein shakes and not a whole lot of variety. I do have an indulgence meal on the weekend, because I’m trying to live my life in moderation and I have no plans on competing. Anyway, I was having a total sugar craving the other night, but we don’t have any sweets in the house. After rummaging in the cupboard I found whole wheat Ritz crackers and started thinking that I bet the caramel sauce in our fridge would taste delicious with them… so I pulled one out and drizzled the caramel on top… and oh my heaven, perfection! This then all led to creating Chocolate Caramel Ritz Cookies.
I’m a huge caramel lover, remember my Caramel English Toffee Ice Cream Pie?! When Todd got home that night I told him about my creation and said that I bet it would be really good if I made some up like the Peanut Butter Chocolate Ritz Cracker Cookies that I know people make. We headed to the store and I whipped up a batch and the whole family agrees, these are divine!
Since I am cutting I only allowed myself one, but it was amazing and I will definitely make them again.
