Who doesn’t like chocolate and peanut butter on the same dessert? I mean it is a match made in dessert heaven the nutty saltiness of the peanut with the sweet luscious chocolate sounds like a winner to me. A couple days ago I wanted to eat something sweet that didn’t require lots of time and ingredients so decided to make chocolate covered almonds, but then I noticed I has some peanut butter so added it in. It’s safe to say that I’m in love these are delicious with a good sweet to salty ratio. If you have nut allergy you can omit the peanut butter and add a white chocolate drizzle or add sprinkles either way this is simple, sinful, and sweet!
