Notes

I love chocolate and peanut butter. I you are looking to switch things up, here is what I recommend:

add 1/3 cup creamy (or chunky) peanut butter to the batter.
add peanut butter chips.
add Reese’s Pieces instead of M & M’s (or do both. I won’t judge).
add Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup pieces to the batter.
