Check your email ladies, so I can send you your prize.
For Secret Recipe Club this month I was assigned Quick and Easy, Cheap and Healthy. This site is full of so many great and healthy recipes, as well as shopping deals, coupon links, menu planning, and much more. She was actually assigned my blog one of the first months that I participated in SRC! Check out her take on my Cinnamon Roll Muffins. I had a couple recipes picked out including this Pizza, but as usual my sweet tooth won out.
The original recipe is made with Sunbutter, due to allergies. Fortunately, we do not have allergies here, so I just used peanut butter. These are a fun treat to have in the fridge or freezer. They melt quickly, so I kept them in the fridge. I currently have a few in the freezer to pull out in a chocolate emergency 🙂

I've been making these since I found your recipe and LOVE them! I put a little course sea salt on top before chilling and it takes it over the top! Thanks for this fun, easy, YUMMY recipe!

I also pour them into a silicon mold (small ice cube size) and they pop out so easily with no need for liners!
