The other day, I had a craving for a childhood favorite: Nutter Butters. I remember loving these peanut-shaped cookies filled with creamy peanut butter after school.

Plus, they can be stored in the fridge for two weeks or in the freezer for two months, making them ideal for meal prepping. But fair warning – they’re so tasty, you might end up eating them all at once!
