Notes

Peanut butter. For best results use regular peanut butter like Skippy or JIF. If the dough is crumbly, add a bit more peanut butter until the dough holds together. 
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days, in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, or in a freezer-safe container for 1-2 months.
