Ingredients
Dairy: Go for full-fat cream cheese and heavy whipping cream for the richest flavor and fluffiest texture.
Peanut Butter: If using natural peanut butter, be sure to stir it thoroughly to incorporate the oil back into the peanut butter.

Tips for Success
- To bend quickly, let cream cheese come to room temperature before using in Step 1.
