Sounds like a delicious recipe…I’m wondering why you used smooth peanut butter and and then added crushed peanuts though, would it not have been easier to just use crunchy peanut butter?

Hello Shari! Thanks for your comment. We tried the recipe both ways, with smooth and crunchy peanut butters. The crushed peanuts are a little coarser than what’s in crunchy peanut butter. Also adding the peanuts separately seems to give a fresher flavour. Try it your way and let us know!
