In microwave safe bowl (I uses Pyrex) Start w/ 1/2 to 3/4 Cup Almond milk add chopped up butter nuke 10 secs at a time stirring after each time after butters all melted add chopped up chocolate and nuke at 10 second intervals again 'till all melted. Take out of microwave and Add Vanilla then add agave to taste (I didn't measure but I'd say I started w/ about 2 TBS and added more) When its sweet enough for your families likes add peanut butter to taste.. can nuke at 10 second intervals if its not melted anymore.
