If you’re my friend, you know that this is my go-to treat to bring to parties, when I have company, or when I am in need of a little chocolate/peanut butter therapy. I even brought them on The Marilyn Denis Show as a healthy halloween treat last October.
Once you make a batch they last for a few months in the freezer, so these bad boys are ready for you when you want a bite or two.
With only 6 ingredients that you probably have in your cupboard right now!
