This mix was born from a pantry clean-out before a holiday party. I tossed everything, peanut butter and chocolate, into a bowl and crossed my fingers. The bowl was empty by the end of the night, and my guests were begging for the recipe. Now it’s a go-to every holiday season—and honestly, any time I need a last-minute crowd-pleaser.
