The last couple of weeks have been crazy busy. We’ve had concreters, plumbers, electricians, carpenters and deliveries on our building site.
It’s in my best interest to keep all our trades happy, so for ‘smoko’ each morning I’ve been taking Arnott’s Assorted Cream Biscuits, because I’ve had neither the time nor inclination to bake, out with coffee.
But one morning when I was unable to go back to sleep after J’s ridiculously early alarm went off; I got up, poured myself a cuppa, enjoyed the silence and found some Pin-spiration.
It’s no secret that I have a love affair with peanut butter and chocolate, have you ever heard of a better marriage?

As an AmerAussie I’ve been eating chocolate and peanut butter for a very long time. I love the combination and I love these cookies!
I think it’s a fantastic, timeless, classic combination!
Lucky tradies! They’ll be wishfully hoping for some everyday!
I just hope it keeps them coming back!
Oh I’m right with you there. Peanut butter and chocolate are amazing. I put PB in my afternoon choc-banana smoothie and it is delicious!
I love the idea of adding it to a smoothie! Thanks for the suggestion!
That’s so good of you to look after the tradies. I know they sure would appreciate it. I bet they loved these cookies. Like you say, there’s no happier marriage than peanut butter and chocolate. Your cookies look chewy and delicious xx
They really are a great cookie. And we’ve had good luck with the tradies so far, so I’m just going to keep on baking.
I thought I kept my tradies happy. You keep yours coming back with cookies baked or bought. Those biscuits look amazing and I want to try them. I have been craving biscuits recently.
I have never gotten into cookies before, but now they seem to be the winner!
