Notes
- Calories are per piece and are an estimation based on the recipe yield.
- Trader Joe’s unsalted peanut butter works great for this recipe, but any creamy unsalted peanut butter is suitable.
- You can substitute coconut sugar for cane sugar and honey for maple syrup; however, this will slightly alter the flavor profile.
