Peanut Cocoa Spread + Twisted Cinnamon Wreath = HEAVEN ~TASTE & CREATE

Taste and Create was started as a food event by Nicole from For the Love of Food.  The whole purpose of Taste and Create was, and has been, and continues to be to create a community of bloggers who test each others’ recipes and share links. The participants of the event are paired together and try a new recipe from one another’s blog.
This month I was paired with Joey at Little Accidents in the Kitchen.  I love being paired with someone I’ve never been paired with before I inevitably learn sooooooo much, and find great new recipes.  I combined 2 of her recipes for an awesome outcome. 

Peanut Cocoa Spread + Twisted Cinnamon Wreath = HEAVEN


Joey was craving Nutella, but didn’t have the ingredients to make any so used what she did have on hand and made Peanut Cocoa Spread. I don’t think I’ll ever buy Nutella again since it’s so easy to make.

Peanut Cocoa Spread

80g dark chocolate, chopped
100g peanut butter
30g icing sugar (adjust according to taste)

One rectangle of ready rolled puff pastry, about 1/8 inch thick
