Thrive doesn’t seem very frugal. I’ve checked them out a few times, but I can’t justify it.

Hi Brooke! I am a catering manager in Portland, Oregon, and we have an appetizer that is called “Date Rumaki” it is a pitted date stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped in thick bacon. After you do that , we deep fry it ! It is so good❤

[@jessenianieves1531]

The reason why the first candy you made taste like snickers is because the dates have a caramel like flavor and the peanut butter butter which is the same as peanuts in the snickers give it that nutty flavor

[@veronicamitchell9378]

It looked awesome

[@snowcrash4286]

I can totally see how it would taste like a Snickers, and probably a little better

[@melissaharpster3807]

True Pittsburgh ham bbq recipe is..... 3 lbs. chipped Isaly's chopped ham, 2 12 oz bottles of Heinz chili sauce and 1 cup brown sugar. Heat sauce and brown sugar until sugar is dissolved, add ham, stir, heat, simmer, serve on round rolls. Some add a little pickle relish, but not needed. 😋

[@janeadams5207]

Tonight I’m going to make eat from fridge edition of the chipped ham sandwiches. It will include 2 packages of leftover sweet and sour stir fry sauce from frozen meal kits. It will be a sweet and sour bbq buttig ham on white bread. I’ll letcha know.

[@tristamyers1910]

There's a small business by my house that's been around forever and thats basically all they sell. Ham BBQ Sammies, but they put a slaw on the top and it is sssssoooooooooo good!!! Not like coleslaw, it's more of a Chow chow I would think, maybe kind of like a pepper slaw?

[@helpme2helpu39]

Your little boy “fainting” cracks me up every time 😂

[@LindaASJ]

Your boys are so good about trying new things

[@hamptom11]

The date candies look like the expensive clusters at a gourmet candy store.

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

They did!

[@villagesteader3552]

Oh honey, pile some coleslaw on that ham!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Ohhhh that would be good

[@loripensel8937]

Hi Brooke!!!! I grew up eating BBQ Chipped Ham!!!!! It's a PA thing! We always used deli cooked ham. Soooooo good!!! You brought back childhood memories!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@luananana4679]

I'm going to try BOTH Recipes!!! I've heard of the Date/Snickers Bar. But I'm not much of a chocolate kind of girl. So instead of putting the whole Date in the chocolate, I'm just going to "DRIZZLE" IT on Top !!! Now for the Ham BBQ Sandwich I'm a bit confused. The ham that YOU USED is what we up in Michigan call "SHAVED" HAM. Chipped Ham is more Chunky Pieces. Which should I use?😮 I just went grocery shopping this morning, now I'll have to go back in the morning! I HATE grocery shopping when it's crowded so I try to go ard 8am !!!

[@karengretzler8754]

My PA husband was where I first heard of chipped ham. He made a great ham bbq with chipped ham.

[@chrissyg-lw3mw]

I just made the ham bbq, but I'm from Pittsburgh it's a staple 😂

[@mistysnyder7622]

We do bbq ham. I never had it til I got with my boyfriend lol. I thought he was a weirdo at first. And we're both from Pa but I never heard it til him

[@Deb57C]

It’s best if you use Isaly’s chipped chopped ham. 🥰

[@karenhogue8443]

We like pitted dates filled with almond butter, a couple chocolate chips and a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

[@susanharclerode1647]

The cheapest chopped ham, and a cheap bottles bbq sauce, cooked and served on a bun is a struggle meal we used to eat. Also bbq scrambled eggs, at least a couple of times that was all we had til payday.

[@LoLoLifeinFlorida]

❤ I'm going to try this with the scrambled egg on top of the cooked BBQ Ham on the bun I work a lot and that sounds something easy to come and put together❤

[@susanharclerode1647]

@CharlotteWeb-ks8bz I think the first meal after that week must have been so appreciated.

[@Pauline-ir2tr]

If you google Isaly's chipped chopped ham/ or Isaly's chipped chopped ham sauce it will show the Isaly's brand they sell in stores in the Western PA/Eastern Ohio area. This is just as easy to make your own but this tells a bit of the history of it.

[@janisraytik845]

We ate this all the time growing up. My Momma used leftover ham and cut it up in small pieces and barbacue sauce , put on burger rolls. Fried taters on the side. It's the salty, savory , sweet that taste sooo good. Aldo from Pennsylvania!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

It’s going in regular rotation for us! We loved it!

[@heatherchrisco9106]

I've never even heard of chipped ham before. It looks really good though.

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

It’s deli ham and ask them to chip it!

[@hoosiergrandma37]

We call it "shaved ham" in my part of the Midwest

[@GraceeT616]

I grew up eating bbq chip chopped ham. Nearly 60. Mom made her own sauce, too. Now my son makes it and cans it.

[@lauriemarquis4887]

I live in Maine and have never heard of chipped ham. Be careful with how many dates you eat in one sitting. :)

[@suzannedowning7904]

I’ve made the date candy. If you use peanuts, it tastes just like a Snicker bar! 😊

[@19tristan98]

I've been eating bbq chipped ham sandwiches for over 40 years! I'm in PA, and we love them here.

[@beccasteele6874]

The fainting boy is the best part 🎉

[@wandaschobey996]

If you take equal amounts of peanuts and candy corn and eat them together it's taste like a payday candy bar

[@dalainebloom4505]

Hey Sweet Brooke, A Date is the name of the fruit. It is just dried out like a raisin. They are from the Middle East. You know where Aladdin and His Magic lamp comes from. LOL!!! I thought that was the cutest description of where dates originate from. They have been around for thousands of Years as Europeans have been trading with that region for spices ever since they first discovered spices were there. Anyway, I do want to try that “Mock Snickers Candy Bar.” It does seem much more healthy than the actual candy bar. Thank You for trying these for Us! I am going to head to My Butcher or Deli counter and buy some chipped ham. Those sandwiches looked DELICIOUS!!! I hope that You All have a WONDERFUL WEEK! GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!!! LOVE AND PEACE SENT TO YOU ALL. ✝️🙏🏽😊👍🏼❤️👋🏼

[@jayroser9876]

I'd like to try the bbq with roast beef

[@TheShellymeli]

Hi Brooke, I am from Western PA and Isaly's Chipped Ham, with Isaly's Chipped Ham BBQ sauce is a staple. Love your channel.

[@anitacrawford5050]

This was a cheap, easy way to feed a larger group in the 60's and 70's. Chipped ham was 99 cents a pound or less. I was served this at youth group and 4H

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

.99c per pound?! Oh I wish that would come back 😂

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Idea: Use cream cheese in the date. Delicious!

[@pamh.5705]

Growing up "stuffed dates" were a Christmas treat! Pitted dates weren't as common then as they are now, so we would push the pit out from one end. Then just stuff a pecan half in from the end and then roll them in powdered sugar. So simple but So good!

[@hannakinn]

I love a candy that's similar, the dates are put into a food processor and ground up into a sticky paste then pressed into a pan that's lined with tinfoil or cling wrap and buttered, you mark out squares and push a nut down into each square, you then cut the squares, you want them to be sticky, coat the sticky date squares in sweetened shredded coconut on all sides. OMG it's so yummy! I bet those would be good covered or drizzled with chocolate. Those and Turkish Delights are 2 of my favorite home made candies. Turkish Delights are so easy and so much better than gummies. They may be the original gummies, lol.

[@nancykossky7994]

LOOOOOOVE dates!! My favorite treat with dates is to stuff them with smoked almonds, wrap them in a half slice of bacon, then airfry or bake them. Soooooo good!! But I'll try these...they look yummy!

[@tinaE.Canadian]

Your Son Fainting Cause Its So Good Is The Cutest

[@reneecollins6931]

As a vegan, we eat dates a lot in desserts. They have a caramel texture and flavor. I'm going to make this!

[@pigoff123]

I think thrive market is ok but I refuse to pay to shop at a store and hate automatic payments.

[@adigmon]

Dates stuffed with Cajun hot garlic sausage and wrapped in bacon! The best appetizer ever!

[@teresacibello7693]

That sounds amazing 😋

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

I’ll have to try it, you’re the 3rd person to tell me about this!

[@adigmon]

@@SouthernFrugalMomma you won’t be disappointed! You can bake, grill, or fry them. I like to pan fry them. The bacon gets crispy without overcooking the sausage and date

[@jerrieanderson2245]

Dates are used by vegans to get the taste of caramel. Snickers are chocolate, peanuts, nougat, and caramel. Sometimes you can find snickers made with almonds. Bothe are tasty.

[@bluejayacreshomestead6529]

We love shopping Temu. We also make the snicker bites all the time ❤ we like them best with natural peanut butter because it is not as sweet. You can make it into a bark too which is the fast way.

[@Red--Bace2137]

I love dates. Prunes are dried plums. Dates are delicious. I eat them plain but the bacon wrapped dates sounds pretty good to. They ate dates alot in the Bible

[@x.y.7385]

My brain just flashed that Indiana Jones scene with the monkey: Bad Dates

[@snowcrash4286]

I always thought they were a Middle Eastern staple.

[@karenlyons3790]

Amazing the dates and chipped ham looked good and by everyones reactions they were what they said and yall agreed... Dusty seemed so so on the ham and barbecue but he ate it.. im amazed sometimes howcthing work together and taste good when you think they wouldnt... Love you Brooke for trying out these things and taking us along with you thru the process you increadable....love you guys.... 🙏❤️😊🥰

[@j.l.emerson592]

My mom had a date recipe that the whole family liked... She poked an almond into a pitted date, then rolled it in powdered sugar. We only got these on major holidays. We always looked forward to eating them. They are rich, sweet & nutty. You ought to try it.

[@x.y.7385]

I haven't had it in a long time but someone used to make prunes stuffed with peanutbutter and rolled in sugar for holiday gatherings. Really good but you don't want to eat a lot 😅

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

I bet not 😂

[@leteakeapitt9569]

I am glad u load video Brooke can't wait to see what you cook Brooke

[@mianone7486]

Bacon wrapped dates is a must when bbq season is up. Soooo good

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

I’ll have to try it

[@amycrowe8243]

I bought all of the stuff for the snickers-dates to try for NYE and never got around to it. Not sure how long unopened dates stay good for, but thanks for the reminder.

[@gloriajackson2021]

Hello Brooke! I have a question. Or maybe a request lol. Would you do some videos on chickens! Like how to set them up and the supplies you need. I guess everything 😊 I am wanting to get chickens but I don't even know where to start. What kind of chickens do you know how to get? Yes I did google it. Whew! That wasn't very fun lol. Thanks so much!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Definitely

[@BonPearson]

LOL I didnt think the dates would taste like a Snickers either.

[@sonyafox3271]

It’s not the date itself, it’s what she’s adding or dressing up the date, to make it low calorie!

[@TammiVera]

Hi Brooke, Try making date bars. My all-time favorite dessert. Love for you to share it with your family.

[@tracisawyer7681]

What?? I love Snickers. I also love dates and pecans. Now I can work I snickers substitute into my diet!! Awesome!!!!!!

[@maryw6835]

Yummy Brooke ❤ try sandwiches on buttered and pan fried buns. Love you and your precious family!!❤

[@aprilsands7351]

Try date paste. Soak pitted dates in water and then blend the whole thing. Has a caramel flavor. Use it like jelly or eat it as is

[@jeannebruner9242]

That's how I make my usual bbq sauce. Sometimes I add apricot, peach or cranberry jam. They look delicious.

[@dawnanderson6486]

A Pittsburgh thing is "Ham Barbecue" made with chipped Isalys chopped ham, Islays Barbecue Sauce, brown sugar and whatever other ingredients are included in each family variation. Its THE BEST 🤩

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

This was soooo good!

[@julienulsen6183]

Can you please do more Viral recipes 😊

[@glenacebrown9995]

I love watching cooking shows from various parts of the U.S. As a born & raised Southern Californian, it seems so strange that a grown up had never tried dates. Now that you've tried them in a confection, try them plain. That's how I like them best. If you just want a taste of something sweet, they're great. By the same token, I've never heard the term "chipped ham." Next time I go grocery shopping, I'm going to see if the deli section has it. Keep up the good work. I love your videos and seeing your sweet family.

[@KKreate101]

I’ve never heard of chipped ham. I’ve heard of chipped beef.

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Chipped ham is just deli sliced ham on the “chipped” setting.

[@barbaram3153]

make mock horsey sauce for it mayo with ground horseradish...that would be good

[@asn-we6sh]

LOL. It's a PA sandwich but we use chopped ham. It's our low cost meal.

[@aimee2234]

If it's a winner in Kylen's book, I would try it. I'm so picky. You are the bomb bestie. Have a great weekend and be blessed always, my Southerland Squad! xoxo

[@ZeroGT_]

definitely gonna try both of these.

[@conniephillips8217]

Wow, I'm really excited about these! I can hardly wait to make them both!!! Thank you

I enjoy you!! I’m a southern Georgia girl.. Who was also raised on a budget and my mom bless her heart God rest, her soul made the best food ever and I carry that on!!!❤️🙏🙏 just love your family. It makes me want to come to your house.❤️

[@XwynntopiaX]

The date is the caramel and the peanut butter is the peanuts in the snickers, and the chocolate is the chocolate. The pecan is the nougat. I love dates, even without all the stuffing. Medjool dates are nature’s caramel-they are delicious! I’m glad you liked it. The ham looked delish!

[@loram96]

Oh wow can't wait to try these!

[@kathybromley8084]

My family loves the date treats

[@Skyequack22374]

I’ll have to try the ham one. We have made the date one often and love it.

[@Thetravelingmoes]

Peanut butter instead of peanuts in the fake snickers. Date for the caramel, not a fan of snickers because of the peanuts, so now we want to try this lol.

[@janeenayers7024]

I can’t wait to try it myself

[@metoo5004]

Good idea for leftover ham!!!

[@commentater4448]

Taste the date plain. Fixes a sweet craving.

[@carolynkayjacobsen159]

Great recipes, Brooke! Thanks

[@carriesessum2505]

I hope you tried a date plain 🤞 they are very sweet ! I live near Palm Springs California and we have date shakes yummy . Dates are everywhere here .

[@lenorespratke-rt1rz]

Dates come from the date palm

[@jamie86403]

Eating healthy plant based diet for years… I totally cracked up seeing your reaction to the date “snicker bar” recipe. Before eating healthy almost 18 years ago I had no idea how delicious some of these foods were that I was never introduced to in the Midwest. Try some other healthy alternatives and you may learn new ingredients that you weren’t aware of.

[@stephaniet.5687]

There is a peanut butter snickers it’s delicious

[@nadinefrandsen6087]

I love dates. Snickers bars have caramel in them, so I’m wondering if the date takes place of that. Hmmm. I’m gonna have to try this one.

[@leslielousma7913]

Thats the ingredients for N.C. barbecue sauce. It is good.

[@thaliahelene]

Brooke, I never used to care about dates either, I thought they were icky like fig Newtons. Apologies to those of you who like them but ick. Anyway, someone made me try Medjool dates, and those are amazing. I don’t like other varieties so much. The best Medjool date is one that is black and glossy. You find dry wrinkled ones that are less delicious, kind of waxy. Try and avoid them if you can. They are a luxury spend for me, so Im picky. Great with walnuts and a tiny slice of candied ginger. Taste explosion.

[@jamievance9566]

Love ham bbq. I use tomato paste instead of ketchup..a yummy thicker sauce..also adding relish to the sauce is a thing. Lol.

[@misfit7610]

Omgosh I have got to try that BBQ ham thing!!!

[@juliehill8292]

I love you guys! Watching you and your family being considerate and supportive of one another brings happiness and joy into my life. Thank you for sharing and especially doing the chocolate date candy,I wonder if you could use just crunchy peanut butter and skip the other nuts all together? It would make it a little cheaper to make I think. God bless you all.

[@donnaspindler5933]

Just use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy pb and pecans. I don't know how much you paid for those nuts there Brooke, but, here in Ohio they are too expensive!! Love you, your family, and your videos! Keep 'em coming, I learn so much, and y'all are so entertaining! 🐢🐢💚💚💕💕

they have peanut butter Snickers and almond butter Snickers they have Snickers with almonds in them I would eat it looks yummy Dates are a fruit that comes from the date palm tree, which is native to the Middle East, although they are also now grown in the Mediterranean, Asia, the USA, and Mexico. Dates grow in large clusters which hang from the top of these palm trees. When dried they become sweeter I love dates I am going to have to try that

[@Tavsauntie]

I love dates! They are so good.

[@yenquest]

Huh, I don't know if it's just a ham version of sloppy joe... I rather spread the sauce mixture on the bread (after cooking the sauce down in a pot), toast the bread, and then cook the ham in a separate skillet for that char. While it's not the same as simmering ham for hours in the crockpot, it does cut down on the cooking time.

[@jodyhartman8177]

Thank you so much for sharing these recipes with us ! 👍😊❤ Now i've got a couple of new things to try !

[@laurabrown5983]

yum! I make a simple ham BBQ Isalys chipped ham ketchup brown sugar butter cook on stove top ...if you like a little tang add a little vinegar

[@marianawarden7380]

Mmmm looks so delicious 😋🤤 I'm trying

[@hannakinn]

Dates are soooo good. They're great to add to smoothies. They're good stuffed with cream cheese wrapped with bacon. I used to live in California and go to the Indio date festival, so many yummy date foods offered there, date ice cream, date milk shakes, yum! Be careful, my mom was a Southern Lady that had never eaten dates either when we moved to California. My mom discovered that she loved dates and they were so cheap in the desert town we lived in that she ate tons of them, not realizing how high calorie they are. Mon gained like 25 pounds and joined a weight watchers club called TOPS, take off pounds sensibly. Mom lost the weight and got off the dates, lol. There is a date, coconut and nut candy I love to buy for the holidays, it's sooo good. It's one of my favorite candies along with Key Lime coconut patties from Florida. Oh by the way Dollar Tree sells a bag of tropical coconut, if you mix it with confectionery sugar, sweetened condensed milk and put in a buttered aluminum foiled lined pan to partislly freeze then cut into bar or candy sized pieces and dip into melted dark chocolate and put in the fridge to set you can make yummy coconut patty type candy for cheap! I add lime flavoring or concentrate to my coconut mic but you do not have to. If you use plain coconut the candy tastes like a mounds bar, if you put an almond on top before the chocolate dipping it's like an almond joy bar.

[@vitsteele-lz2hn]
