Description
After much anticipation my healthy Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup recipe is up! For those of you who do not know, I freaking die for peanut butter and chocolate. The combo is just simply divine. Given my love for peanut butter & chocolate, Reese’s peanut butter cups are. like. too. good. mouthwatering. mmm. Reese’s pieces are obviously amazing, but I tend to avoid them because they are BAD for you. Why? They are totally fake & full of white sugar, hydrogenated peanut butter, Oh, and they make you fat! After viewing various peanut butter cup recipes I created this recipe full of real unprocessed ingredients…and they are too die for!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup melted coconut oil, scented or unscented
- 1 1/4 cups pb2 peanut butter powder
- 2 tbsp unflavoured collagen peptides (optional)
- 2.5 tbsp pure maple syrup
- small dash of sea salt
- 1/2 cup dark or semi sweet chocolate chips
- 12 muffin liners
Instructions
- In a medium/large bowl whisk together the first 5 ingredients to create a smooth paste
- Line a muffin tray with 12 liners & pour just less than 1 tbsp of the paste into each liner
- Place into freezer for 5 minutes
- While the liners are in freezer melt the chocolate in a small glass bowl. (Does not have to be liquid- I usually micro 30 seconds, mix a bit and another 30 seconds until chocolate is melted/still a bit lumpy)
- Take tray of liners out from freezer- spoon a bit of chocolate into each tray, and freeze 3 minutes
- Remove from freezer and top with remaining peanut paste and place back into freezer for 10 minutes
Notes
- Keep these babies in the freezer because they melt quickly!
