2. Prepare the Chili Base:

- Sprinkle the chili seasoning over the mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.

3. Add the Beans:

- Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. Prepare the Peanut Butter Toasts:

- Spread an even layer of peanut butter over each warm toast slice.

5. Serve:
- Serve the savory chili hot, alongside the creamy peanut butter toasts for a delightful contrast in flavors.
