For some, chocolate and peanut butter may seem to be a polarizing pair, but for me to get through winter quarter and the bitter icy winds of Chicago, this is my secret sauce to survival. I may or may not be being dramatic. In any case, it’s no surprise that I now present to you this Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake. A simple no-frills on-the-go mug cake. Enjoy!
Cheers,
