Chef’s Corner
I hope everyone had a great break and the start of your semester is going well. I myself am finding it slightly difficult to get back into the swing of the college life, homework and classes. This treat that I decided to share with you is quick and easy to make and also affordable for any college students budget. It can be made as a snack while you’re doing homework or perhaps brought to class. It’s not only delicious but healthy as well, and it is also so simple that anyone can make it. No oven or microwave is needed, just a mixing bowl, ingredients and a spoon.

Nutritional Aspect
There are very few ingredients in this recipe, which makes it quite cheap and easy to make. Peanut butter is very good for you as long as you don’t have a peanut allergy. It is a great source of protein. This helps repair body tissues and develop new ones, and also to make antibodies which help prevent disease and infections. Honey is also great for you as it contains many nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron and the list goes on. Also, if you eat local honey it can help with your seasonal allergies.
