Recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Tapioca Cone
It might sound a little strange, but this is our current favorite snack of the week. It's a little high in calories - because of the peanut butter, and sugar - thanks to the tapioca pudding (and optional chocolate chips) but on the other hand it's a little more filling than if it was just the tapioca, or tapicoa in a cone, which we really like to do sometimes.
1 Tapioca Pudding Cup (We use KozyShack brand)
16 grams (1 TBSP) of Peanut Butter (Smucker's Natural, I like Creamy, my brother likes Crunchy.)
1/2 to 1 TBSP Cocoa Powder
Mini Chocolate Chips (Optional - I use 5-10 grams, but I'm not sure what turns out to be in teaspoons or tablespoons, so just use what you think would be good, I guess.)
1 Ice Cream Cone (Don't skip - it's not the same without it.)
1. Mix together the pudding and the peanut butter. (Don't try mixing the cocoa with the peanut butter first - it won't blend into the tapioca. Believe me, I tried, in an effort to prevent fly away cocoa. Have yet to try mixing pudding and cocoa before adding the peanut butter.)
2. Mix in the cocoa powder. You'll probably have to give it a hearty stir. The tapioca likes to be a blob rolling in "dirt", if you stir it softly and non-chelantly.
3. Stir in chocolate chips if desired.
4. Spoon pudding mixture into cone. If your cones are the same size as ours, you'll have left over pudding. Just eat it straight from the bowl with your spoon. Then enjoy your pudding cone.
