Instead of the topping recipe - I mixed 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in a tub of Betty Crocker chocolate frosting. They were very easy to make and were delicious.

These were very easy and tasted good, but I thought they were a little on the dry side. I would have given them five spoons had they been a bit moister!!
