Peanuts have always been a favourite in our house. Apart from the usual addition of peanuts to poha , bhendi curry and peanut butter, I also eat peanuts as they are, with some jaggery. It is a sort of comfort food for me. When I am down, I eat it. When I don’t know what to eat, I snack on it. And when I feel like eating something healthy and yet sweet, this is it for me. It is the best combination, EVER. Trust me.
I got only one box of Nutella into the house so far, and had loved it, so when the comparison of Nutella with this recipe came in, I knew I had to try this, right away.
To suit my storing jar, and my taste , I used the ingredients in a different ratio. The jaggery got liquidy very soon, and I noticed that I needed more than 1/4 cup of olive oil as was given in the original recipe. And since I like chunky peanut butter, I did not blend this into a thick paste.
In short ,this recipe is so flexible that you can change it to suit your taste and style of eating.
Right now, I need help. To stop eating this. :)
Tomorrow, it is going to be bread toast with this chocolate peanut butter. :-D

ReplyDeleteV, Oh is it? At first glance, I thought it looks like remains of your brain. When I beat it to a pulp.
