Peanut-era

Sooo, I guess I take requests now! That's a fucking dare by the way, my stomach is fucking IRONCLAD!

This little gem was suggested by my fellow everything-hater, brother-from-a-transatlantic-mother @hhhhogan. That's his twitter username by the way, I'm not just drunk again, so do the right thing and follow his ass.

Anyway, the ingredients and process behind his suggestion were mega simple: get an apple, cut it's heart out, replace with peanut butter.

Being the awkward bastard that I am, I thought this might be too simple to warrant a whole post about it. To ramp things up, and include concessions to my own obsessions (yeah, wordplay, ya like that?), I got slicing n' dicing, and added liberal coatings of muscavado sugar and chilli flakes, and stuck it under the grill for a coupla minutes. It didn't really do anything to caramelise the sugar, so I just called it quits and got started.


I gotta say, this was a lot better than I expected it to be. I'm not a peanut butter fan AT ALL, so it was unexpected that this actually didn't ruin my night. It kind of goes together in the same weird way that grapes go with cheese n' crackers, y'know? Or like, cranberrys on ham. Is that even a thing or have I made it up?

Anyhow, I'd definitely recommend trying this out, the whole snack only cost me £1, so what ya waiting for?
