What’s Your Favourite Peanut Butter?
I love peanut butter and there are a few brands I like. But that peanut taste? I can never get enough of that! You can use smooth or crunchy peanut butter in this recipe or you can even try to make homemade peanut butter.
Just go with whatever you like the most. You might need to give some types 10 seconds or so in the microwave to melt them enough to drizzle because some kinds are really thick.
If you want something a little different, try cashew or almond butter in this Reese’s ice cream recipe. Either of those would work just as well as peanut butter and would add another contrasting flavour to the mix.
