My husband and I are going to try making this with Marshmallow Fluff instead of peanut butter for those that can't eat peanuts or just don't like it! It is a delicious treat and everyone should enjoy!

For those with peanut allergies, try using another type of butter. Our Whole Foods grocer sells things like almond and/or cashew butter, or try nutella-the hazelnut equivalent to peanut butter. Just a thought...

I have a peanut-allergy son as well. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to try this recipe with a soy-nut butter we have that tastes very close to peanut butter but is nut-free.
