Chef’s Secret

To prevent sinking in batter, toss morsels with a small amount of flour before adding to dough or batter.

Substitutions

Best Match

Peanut Butter Chips (different brand)

1:1

Identical use and flavor, simply a brand variation or slightly different formulation.

Mini Peanut Butter Cups

1:1

Adds a richer chocolate element along with peanut butter, good for visual appeal.

Chopped Peanuts

1:1

Offers similar nutty flavor and crunch, but lacks the melt-in-your-mouth texture.

White Chocolate Chips

1:1

For texture and sweetness without the peanut flavor, if nut-free is desired.

Buying Guide
