Substitutions

Peanut-Free: Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter, and use chopped almonds, walnuts, pistachios, or pecans instead of peanuts. Feel free to use whatever nuts or seeds you have on hand.

Nut-Free (School-Friendly): Use tahini instead of peanut butter, and replace the nuts with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or even crushed pretzels for added crunch.

Dairy-Free: The only ingredient to watch is the chocolate—be sure to use a dairy-free brand.
