I love the taste of peanut butter and this is the first time I am adding chocolate to the peanut butter to make cookies which are peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies and it gives the great texture and flavor to the basic chocolate but I am afraid how it taste because the peanut butter taste is too strong and I had some doubts about the flavor of the biscuits but it tastes so great.The taste is not overwhelming but it combines so well with the chocolate.
I am pretty much sure that our readers will enjoy the taste of the biscuits especially the kids would love to have these biscuits.
