I’ve been a bit obsessed with peanut butter and chocolate. It’s like Jenny came and invaded my brain. Everything from ice cream to cookies to cupcakes. I want that silky peanut butter to stand up to good, strong chocolate and melt together to become something wonderful. So into the devil’s food batter went the peanut butter, baked into a cake in a jar and then topped and sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Perfectly portable for your spring picnic.
