Not many things in life are better than peanut butter, and whiskey. Yes we're a little biased, but ever wonder what life is like for our team when PB&W Peanut Butter Whiskey isn't consuming our lives (or we're consuming it)? Here's a behind the scenes look at the Peeps of PB&W.

Featured Recipe:
Peanut Butter Whiskey Maple Syrup
3/4 cup White Sugar
3/4 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
2 tablespoons PB&W Peanut Butter Whiskey
2 tablespoons Maple Flavoring
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 20 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Serve immediately or store in a glass jar for future use (like I did).
Early AM
6:15 am: first alarm goes off
6:20 am: second alarm goes off
6:30 am: third alarm goes off, finally decides to acknowledge this one
6:31 am: invites pup, Wilson, to come snuggle before it’s actually time to get up (he likes to be the little spoon)
6:45 am: okay, actually up, first stop: coffee *while coffee’s brewing: makes a round to examine plants, inspecting new growth and watering. Makes a mental note to show fiancee new growth on the ZZ plant (which he couldn’t care less about).
7:15 am: gets ready and grabs Wilson’s collar to go on a w-a-l-k, we all know you can’t say that word with pups until you’re completely ready. *Wilson freaks out*
7:45 am: we’re back. starts making a real breakfast because it’s almost Friday, pulls out peanut butter whiskey maple syrup for pancakes that’s been marinating overnight *see recipe above
7:50 am: finally exploring what this whole tiny pancake craze is all about which is totally worth the hype by the way. High effort, high reward. Ended up with small, medium and large pancakes...

8:15 am: another cup of coffee for a first look at emails
8:20 am: morning video chat check-in with co-worker, Alisa who lives in New York (check out her day here)
