I never really got on the peanut butter bandwagon as a kid. I hated PB&J and felt like it was possibly the worst lunch a person could have. I was so spoiled to have a mom that packed my lunch every single day and always had so many different parts to the lunch that it inevitably only made PB&J look lazy and tasteless.
I held onto that baggie of raw peanuts for awhile until I figured out what to do with them. I’ve been playing with ideas for awhile–most of which, I’m sure, will come to fruition–but then I saw this post by The Blonde Vegan on Instagram and I knew immediately what I had to do.
1/4 t vanilla
- Pour the peanut butter into little cups and then place in the freezer to set.
- Prepare the chocolate coating.
- Once the chocolate is ready, pour over the peanut butter.
- Place back in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
- Move to the fridge until you are ready to eat.
- Top with sea salt and/or peanuts if you’d like.
if using peanut butter how much should i use?
Hmm that's a good question! Try 3/4 cup and add, tablespoon by tablespoon, until you get a thick consistency. You want it to be able to hold its shape when it goes into the freezer. I think a whole cup would work here, as well, but I want you to be able to play with it and judge it as you go!
oh my GOD these are amazing!
Aren't they?? I love them. I could eat them everyday haha I hope you like them as much as I do if you make them!
