Uhm...  looks nummy, except I can't do nuts.  Unless I want  to take multiple 
prescription strength Benadryl three times a day for an  entire week.  
(Insert mental image of me stumbling around moaning about  brains)
 
How essential is the peanut butter?  or can I sub the vegetable  oil?  I'm so 
confused...
 
In service,
