National Adoption Day is this Saturday, November 21st. Did you know that more than 1.5 million American families have been touched by adoption? It’s definitely touched my life, as I was adopted when I was less than a month old.
Like the American family, Honey Maid has continued to evolve across its 90 year heritage. From classic grahams to Teddy Grahams, Honey Maid’s wholesome products are made with whole grains and real honey, without high fructose corn syrup or artificial colors, and are wholesome snacks families can agree on for any occasion.
Teddy Grahams are something that gets eaten around here pretty often. Bubbles loves them for a snack now and then and I do, too. They’re also a fun size and shape for adding as a dipping option along with fruits, marshmallows, and other treats.

I had a friend in college that was also adopted, just one of the things we bonded over. As I was thinking about National Adoption Day, I got to thinking about her and this Brownie Batter Dip recipe. She used to make something like this to help get us through finals week and other stressful cramming sessions.
For another yummy recipe – and a dose of cuteness – check out this Honey Maid video for Very Berry “Cheesecakes”. Then whip up something sweet to share with someone you know that’s adopted to celebrate National Adoption Day.
