Since there are so many people that have peanut allergies there is a substitute that works just as well which is also even better. The substitute that I use is a European cookie spread by Biscoff and it does not have any peanuts in it whatsoever. However, you will not be able to use this spread if anyone has a wheat or soymilk allergy because those are the main ingredients that are used to make the spread.
