February 5th is a very important day in the Fuji household. No, it’s not anyone’s birthday or our anniversary–it’s World Nutella Day! Thanks to Sara of Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle of Bleeding Espresso, Nutella was finally given its own day of celebration four years ago.

I asked Mr. Fuji to pick up some provisions during a recent trip to Costco in preparation for our celebrations.

Superbowl Sunday! I know some of you are in it for the football…me, not so much, I’m a college football kind of girl. Mr. Fuji? He likes the football. I personally love the commercials and the excuse to eat lots of yummy munchies.

Have you planned out your munchies list yet? I’m thinking burgers and lots of finger foods. Maybe some edamame, creamy tortilla pinwheels, and veggies and dip. But no good munchie lineup is complete without chocolate, right? Right???

Dorie Greenspan recently posted a quick and easy recipe for Chocolate Crunchies that looked delicious. I decided to make my own twist on the recipe, substituting some of my favorite things. The end result makes for perfect football food—these little candies are quick and easy to make and incorporate all of my favorite “C” words: Chewy, Crunchy, CHOCOLATE, Cashews, Coconut, Craisins, and Crispy Rice. Thank you Dorie, you’re a genius, as always!
