To be honest, I am not a big fan of peanut butter. And honestly, it wasn’t always this way. When I was little, I loved peanut butter; I would eat it on apples and on pancakes.

However, I grew up eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich throughout elementary school, and that is when I started to dislike peanut butter. I just had wayyy too much of it.

Today, I decided to take a risk and make a Reese’s Pieces-inspired chocolate chip cookie cake, and it turned out so good. I don’t know if I can ever eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich again, but I will definitely get seconds for this cake!
