Carrots and peanut butter work so well together
Who'd have thought that carrots and peanut butter makes an absolutely brilliant snack? My kids love apple and pear slices dipped in peanut butter but until now I've never served this up.
Not convinced?
You're going to have to trust me on this. Carrot sticks dipped in peanut butter is really amazing! I highly recommend you give it a try today.
The perfect snack for International Carrot Day
Tomorrow, 4 April, is International Carrot Day. In order to celebrate I've collaborated with SKIPPY® Peanut Butter to bring you this delicious, tasty vegan snack idea.
Why are carrots good for you?
When I was a kid my Grandad, who was a greengrocer, always used to tell me to eat my carrots because they would help me to see in the dark.
I can't now remember how much I believed him but I have always liked carrots and perhaps his early encouragement helped with this.
There might just be a little bit of truth in some of those old wives' tales however. Carrots, like all vegetables, are packed full of nutrients. In particular they have lots of vitamin A, which is essential for good vision.
What is SKIPPY® Peanut Butter
SKIPPY® Peanut Butter is an authentic brand of peanut butter from the US. It has been around for over 80 years and is made from American peanuts.
Ocado, Waitrose and Sainsbury's now stock SKIPPY® Peanut Butter in the UK. You can buy both smooth and crunchy varieties, so whatever your preference, there's a jar out there for you.

It's really very simple to make this carrot and peanut butter snack. You simply need to peel and cut your carrots up into batons. I've used my crinkle cutter to make them more interesting to the kids.
Then transfer some of the peanut butter from the jar into a bowl and serve on a board or plate with the carrot sticks.
How easy is that?!

Delicious, but my kids refuse to eat it. They said they would like it if there were more ingredients.
Any other ingredients I can add to make my kids like it?
Mandy Mazliah
You could try with apple or pear instead of carrots?
Ceri Jones
The crinkle cuts look fun! I like carrots dipped in tahini so I can imagine in Peanut butter is just as good!
Mandy Mazliah
Tahini dip is one of my favourites too!
Jere Cassidy
Totally love carrots. I can't eat peanut butter. I wish I could it looks like a perfect snack.
Mandy Mazliah
Ah that's a shame. I tried a brand of soya peanut butter that was nut free recently - it was actually pretty good!
Choclette
Love the simplicity of this recipe Mandy. It sounds a lot healthier than peanut butter on toast, which is what I usually have.
Mandy Mazliah
Peanut butter on toast is a great snack too Choclette
Lucy
I would totally go for this myself and hide it from the kids
Mandy Mazliah
Ha ha - it's so delicious!
Imogen
I've never thought about mixing carrots and peanut butter! Bring on snack time.
Mandy Mazliah
It works so well!
Crystal
Okay - so I'm trying this tomorrow. I've never even considered this combination, but the smooth peanut butter texture and the crisp carrot sounds tasty.
Mandy Mazliah
It really is a delicious combo
Corina Blum
I think carrots and peanut butter go really well together and although I've used peanut butter to make a satay style dip I've never used it just by itself! It's something I'll have to try.
Mandy Mazliah
I hope you love it Corina
Laura Schwormstedt
My son loves this combo and yes super easy and healthy too - total afterschool win win
