Could you make it without peanut putter?

[yoyomax12]

@meganandrosie1 There is 3/4 cup of peanut butter in this (that's why peanut butter appears in the title) and it is required to bind everything else together. Can't think of anything else to sub with sorry

could you make the topping without butterscotch chips ?

[yoyomax12]

@emsara101 yes, just use choco chips instead

i need to stop watching these with my bf cause then he always wants me to cook right after

[baybfilipina16]

i watched this last night and was like, I NEED TO MAKE THIS! and, of course, i did! definitely making them again! 2 things: you left out the flour when you listed the ingredients. :/ i had to go back because i knew i was missing something. also, for some reason, when i went to make the glaze, they weren't melting as nicely, but i made it work. thanks for the video! :)

@meganandrosie1

Maybe use nutella?

[TonixTech]

@yoyomax12 Soy nut butter works too. As does Cashew butter. Very different flavors but not bad ones.

[catfreak190]

@meganandrosie1 I made this with nutella instead soi I'll recommend you use nutella instead
