Common Questions:

Can I use natural peanut butter instead of regular peanut butter?

Yes, you can use natural peanut butter in this recipe. However, keep in mind that natural peanut butter might result in a slightly different texture due to its oil separation. Be sure to stir it well before using.

 

I have a nut allergy. What substitutions can I make?

If you have a nut allergy, you can omit the peanut butter and Reese’s Pieces candy from the recipe. You can replace the peanut butter with a seed butter (like sunflower seed butter) or simply increase the amount of regular butter in the recipe. Choose nut-free candy for the topping.

 

How can I make this recipe vegetarian?

This recipe is already vegetarian, as it doesn’t contain any meat or animal products. Just ensure the ingredients you use, such as chocolate chips and candies, are free of animal-derived additives.
