Where to find the best peanut butter inspired dessert in Manhattan

Looking for a place that has the best peanut butter inspired dessert whether it's a cupcake/candy.

    My vote would be for any of the peanut related flavors at Doughnut Plant.

    Vegan places sometimes feature a chocolate peanut butter cake I've seen listed as a "peanut butter bomb". It's not delicate, let's just put it that way. Teany used to carry it, but I'm not sure the revamped reopened location has it.

      Try the dark chocolate peanut butter chip cookie at Levain Bakery. It is sublime.

        You should also check out the salted peanut cake doughnut from the Doughnut Plant. Chelsea location only.

          I absolutely adore the house-made "nutter butter" cookie sandwiches at Cafe Mae Mae. Truly decadent and delicious.

            There used to be a place called Zozo's in LES that served this homemade fluffernutter ice cream, pb ice cream with swirls of pb and fluff. It was so good, and i have yet to find anything that comes close.

                Not the largest PB fan, but I love Bouchon Bakery's nutter butter cookies.

                  Perhaps, Peanut Butter & Co? We've never been, but the desserts sound delicious.

                  My favorite upscale peanut butter-inspired dessert is EMP's Chocolaate Palette with Peanut Butter and Popcorn: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11863391@N03/5644044844/in/set-72157626429193975
