Hi! I’m writing from Spain, any idea of what to switch the peanut butter for around here?
Hi Lu! How about any other kind of nut butter? You can find recipes to make your own peanut, almond, or cashew butter. Thanks for reading and let us know how it works out. :)
Well, that sounds great, I’m gonna see how it works. Thanks a lot!
