Peanut Butter Blossoms “Boss-oms” for The Boss Baby

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of DreamWorks and The Boss Baby. All opinions and ideas are my own.

My family loves going to the movies, and we try to catch every family-friendly film we can while in theaters. Movie theater popcorn (more butter, please!) and a couple of hours to escape and laugh with my loves is what I call a great time. My youngest, Miss Bea, has been begging to see The Boss Baby ever since she saw previews last fall. To bide our time while we wait for The Boss Baby to hit theaters, we’ve been in the kitchen whipping up Peanut Butter Blossoms “Boss-oms” to pair with Peach Tampico, for a perfect treat!

Peanut Butter Blossoms are one of those cookies that should be in every home’s cookie arsenal. They’re easy, fun, and super yummy. Plus, these truly are the perfect cookie to celebrate The Boss Baby, because they remind the kids of a certain popular emoji that just goes along with babies. All that’s missing are some candy eyes on the chocolate kisses. Plus, according to previews, The Boss Baby loves his cookies!

Everyone needs something to wash down those cookies, and I’ve never been a milk drinker myself, so we grabbed one of the many flavors of Tampico, to go along with our Peanut Butter Boss-oms. The kids opted for Peach Tampico, which was a big hit. Tampico is one of the world’s best-loved beverages when it comes to high quality and value-added juice drinks.
