  1. Hi this looks amazing. Before I try it, I’d like to know about the peanut butter. The pb I use comes very liquidy from the natural peanut oils on top. By the time I get to the bottom of the jar, it’s incredibly dry. What do you recommend for getting the right consistency peanut butter for this recipe?

    • Hi Julie,
      for the peanut butter in this recipe, I recommend using a creamy, well-mixed peanut butter. If your natural peanut butter tends to separate with the oils rising to the top, you can try stirring it thoroughly with a spoon before measuring out the amount needed for the recipe. I sometimes use a hand mixer to ensure my peanut butter is well-mixed before using it in recipes. This helps to achieve a smoother consistency, especially if it tends to separate easily.

    • Hi Annie,
      you could melt the chocolate in a double-boiler (preferably) or in the microwave in 15-20 seconds intervals stirring until completely smooth.

  2. Hi there: This looks delicious! Can I substitute the coconut flour for a different kind of flour? I am not a fan of the coconut flour 😕. Thank you!

    • Hi Fran,
      Thank you!
      You could substitute it for almond flour, however, you may need to adjust (reduce) the amount of water.
