The peanut butter mixture gets sticky! I recently switched up the vanilla protein that I use in recipes and I’m loving this new kind. It’s called Jay Robb’s Whey Protein / The Best-Tasting Protein on the Planet. Seriously. That’s the name. I have to admit, it is really delicious, plus it has a high protein content and low calories/no fat/no sugar (they use Stevia to sweeten it). I recommend using a lower sugar/lower sodium peanut butter in this too. Once you have it spooned on top of the first chocolate layer, just flatten it out a little and leave some room on the sides for the chocolate to fill in with the top layer.
