Notes
Nut Butter: This recipe has been tested with almond butter and sunflower seed butter (Sunbutter). You could try using other nut or seed butters. Cashew butter and hazelnut butter would be good options.
Adjust to taste: This recipe is very versatile. Add more or less sweetener and cocoa to taste to make it more or less rich.
