The thing I missed most after switching to a plant-based diet was Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I don’t care how artificial they are, they bring me to a special place.
That’s why I’m all about indulging in peanut butter and chocolate. Eating isn’t JUST about your physical health – it plays a role in your happiness too.
These cookies look a little bit like your classic peanut butter cookies, but their texture is unique. I would liken it to a shortbread cookie: they crumble when you bite into them and then melt in your mouth.
(And then you’re lost to the world, far far away swimming in pools of molten chocolate and peanut butter heaven.)
