Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, try using creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy. If you want to reduce the sugar, you can substitute part of it with a sugar alternative, but ensure it’s suitable for baking. For a richer flavor, consider adding a bit of melted chocolate or serve with Sylvia'S Hot Fudge Sauce on top.
