  1. Ok I made these recently and everyone devoured them – lucky I made 2 batches. I just used normal crunchy peanut butter and a block of milk chocolate. If you don’t want them crunchy then bake for about 10-15 mins depending on your oven (not until golden) pull them out and leave to cool on the tray for about 15 mins as they will be too soft straight out of the oven. Once cool use a spatula to take them off tray and place into a container – They will crumble a bit. I store mine in the fridge as it keeps things fresh and they stay soft.
