Can I double this recipe for a crowd?

Yes, but make sure your mixing bowl is big enough. I once doubled a batch in a small bowl and ended up with chocolate on the counter, my sleeve, and a very sticky toddler. Use a larger bowl and mix gently.

Can I use crunchy peanut butter?

Absolutely. Crunchy peanut butter adds texture and extra peanut flavor. Smooth works too if you prefer a more uniform bite.

Are these safe if someone has a peanut allergy?

No. If anyone in your group has a peanut allergy, swap to sunflower seed butter and roasted sunflower seeds to make a safe, similar treat. Always check labels and warn your guests.

Do they need refrigeration?

They set best in the fridge. You can keep them at room temperature for a few hours for a party, but for long storage, refrigerate to keep the texture firm.

Can I use white chocolate or milk chocolate?

Yes. White chocolate will give a sweeter, creamier result, while milk chocolate is milder and kid-friendly. Dark chocolate gives the deepest flavor and pairs best with salty peanuts.
