Wow, that sounds interesting (& yummy)! Peanut butter, I hadn't thought of adding that. Will have to try this!

My boyfriend was shocked by the presence of peanut butter as well. It's not a very strong taste and it serves as a good binding ingredient. The recipe-program-site called for some kind of nut or seed, which you later crush, so I grabbed good ole PB since I already had some.

When you say "1 TP sea salt," is that tablespoon or teaspoon?

[polyphonicvegan]

TP = teaspoon and TB = tablespoon

Those may not be the conventional abbreviations!
