That’s right, Donal and I are going to bring you totally unique peanut butter recipes and YOU GUYS are gonna have to tell us who made the better dessert (I love Donal buuuuut I think I got him on this one!). Donal made a delicious and tasty Peanut Butter Snickers Squares. I’m going to be making Peanut Butter Dessert Shooters.
