Thanks for sharing. The addition of the salt sounds awesome!
I am the type of peanut butter fan that believes most to all peanut desserts never have nearly enough peanut butter. This recipe is absolutely solving that problem! My only tweak was to add a little sprinkle of coarse salt once the topping was fully stirred and creamy. This would also be great with crunchy peanut butter as well!
