Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Instead of butter you can use a non-animal shortening such as copha.

I prefer to use smooth peanut butter but if you like a bit of crunch then crunchy peanut butter is best or add another type of nut to smooth peanut butter.

Chocolate chips work well too.
