Rich chocolate with a hint of peanut butter…handful after handful.
Instead of powdered sugar, the outside is coated in her favorite protein shake powder and PB2, a powdered peanut butter product. Genius!
I took this to work and nothing but crumbs were left by the end of the day. As you might have guessed, the recipe was requested as well.
Which powdered peanut butter product should you use?
Use any brand of powdered peanut butter product you prefer. I have used both PB2 Peanut Butter and Chocolate flavors.
