Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I gather all my ingredients in my kitchen, making sure not to forget anything—it can be easy to overlook that little jar of honey! In a large mixing bowl, I combine the creamy peanut butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, and honey (or maple syrup if I’m feeling adventurous). I blend these ingredients together until smooth, which often ends up smelling heavenly! The combination of cocoa and peanut butter creates such a rich scent. It’s my favorite part.
