Is there a better combo than peanut butter and Oreo? I don’t think so. Even when I was a kid (and still today), I used to love putting peanut butter on my Oreos. The idea of peanut butter and chocolate in recipes isn’t something new. People have been adding it to recipes for years. Look at Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups? Another personal favorite of mine.
