There is nothing quite like a homemade empanada straight from the oven: the warm and flaky dough, the softly sweet and nutty filling, with a delicate tart touch from the strawberries, is a delight in the mouth. As you can see … I love empanadas! I for one can’t imagine my life without them. Due to the love, I feel for empanadas I decided to prepare a special snack for my kids. I used the new Reese’s Spreads as filling. This super delicious spread is a perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter flavors. You’re going to love it. Spread it on toast, waffles, apples and bananas, pretzels, or vanilla wafers … the possibilities are endless! The thing with empanadas is they are so so so versatile. You can pretty much put anything in it. Most of us are familiar with the salty and savory type but empanadas can also satisfy your sweet tooth and be a convenient and easy snack, especially if you make this mini version. For an extra kick, I added strawberries! You can certainly add any fruit you like, such as bananas, blueberries, etc. I made a big batch with the hope to save some for other days, but they didn’t last! The best part was that the kids loved them. They even declared them the best snack “EVER” hahaha. Of course, it is the best! With peanut butter and chocolate you cannot go wrong.
