We’re all about healthy breakfasts. Somewhere between Nutella and a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, this is as purist as chocolate spread gets.

What You Need
12 squares organic or 50g good quality dark chocolate
4 squares organic or 15g good quality milk chocolate
¼ cup homemade peanut butter (available from health shops)
Method
Break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and place over a pot of gently simmering water – no steam should escape and the bowl shouldn’t touch the water.
Once the chocolate is fully melted, stir in the peanut butter until well combined and serve on a baguette or toasted raisin bread.

Cook’s note:
