The October/November issue of Garden & Gun magazine features a recipe for Nightbell’s Molten Peanut Butter Mini-Cakes. Garden & Gun is a magazine that embraces Southern culture and shares it with the world. In this feature, readers are introduced to the sweet side of Nightbell, with a recipe for the delicious sweet and salty treat.
Katie, a South Carolina native,
 “is always looking for opportunities to use her beloved Southern peanut when she cooks. Her molten peanut butter cake is a perfect example. Sized for sharing and modeled after the warm chocolate cake with an oozy center popularized by the New York chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, the dessert is a bit of pastry chef pyrotechnics—a warm, salty, peanut praline center encased inside a quivering sheath of cake.” -from Kim Severson’s Garden & Gun article.
