About


I think this recipe is great and ultimately very flexible.  One can substitute the chocolate chips and peanuts for any number of other sweet and salty alternatives.  Other variations also include making the mixture into balls instead of a cake; not using peanut butter; or using only black and orange candies for halloween!
