Ryan’s Peanut Butter Cups
Background info: Before peanuts became a modernized cash crop, many pre-Columbian cultures, such as the Moche people, cultivated this legume as both a food source and an integral part of their culture. Peanuts remain popular in both Peruvian and Mexican cuisine, and provide a good source of protein, Vitamin E, and monounsaturated fats.
