Thanks so much for your comment on our blog. I love your recipes too! It's nice to know someone has tried them and they actually taste good. I love the lettuce wraps at PF Changs, so I can't wait to try these!

Oh yeah, I made the popcorn and added the chocolate and it was soooo good! I just added a half cup milk chocolate chips when I added the Peanut Butter and they melted right down.
