HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SPREAD

  1. In a small heat proof bowl, melt your chocolate chips. Do this by heating them in the microwave, at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth and glossy. (which is what I usually do) You can also melt the chocolate chips in a double broiler on the stove top.
  2. Scoop the peanut butter and flax butter onto the melted chocolate and mix until smooth. This way you don’t lose any precious chocolate or use an extra bowl. It will look drippy at first and then thicken as it cools and sets.
  3. Store in a glass jar in the pantry. (not the fridge)

 

Notes:

You can use any flavor of flax butter you like in this recipe.

 

This recipe can easily be doubled or increased. Keep the same ratio of 1 part chocolate chips to 2 parts peanut butter to make as much as your heart (and tastebuds) desire!

 

Storage: It’s totally fine to store chocolate peanut butter in the pantry since all the ingredients are shelf stable. It will become too firm to spread if stored in the fridge.
