I mentioned over at Food & Nutrition that today is National Peanut Butter cookie day, and one of my favorite variations on popular treat is, of course, adding chocolate!
Personally, I think peanut butter baking morsels are one the best baking creations ever. Instead of trying to add regular peanut butter to kick up a recipe, you can just add some chips for a perfectly balanced taste. And really, mixing them up with some regular chocolate chips make for a quick satisfying snack, too! (I’m not the only one who’s done that, right?)
