Strictly for peanut butter lovers! And that includes me. The peanut butter flavour is very strong in this so be warned. If you don’t care for peanuts or peanut butter, this recipe is not for you. Otherwise, it’s fun and delicious, quick and easy. I served this over rice with a side vegetable of saluted brussels sprouts.
