What could I replace the peanut butter with?

This recipe calls for peanut butter, but if you have an allergy, or don’t particularly love it, you could easily swap it out for something else.

We highly recommend using almond or cashew butter in place of peanut butter.

What could I use in place of M&M’s?

If you are looking for a healthier alternative, try one of these:

• Raisins
• Craisins
• Dark chocolate chips
• Peanuts
• Almonds
• Almond butter 
• ​Chia Seeds 
• Protein powder
• Vanilla extract 
• Hemp seeds 
• Pure maple syrup
