Peanut butter cups are the pleasure we can’t get away from. Let’s be real, chocolate and peanut butter combined just hits the spot. Since I am a firm believer in eating chocolate daily (cause how else would life be AWESOME), I have made it a point to conquer a peanut butter cups recipe. Give this one a try for you and the kiddos! The sweet treat is simple and healthy. The use of agave as the natural sweetener reduces the glycemic index, meaning this is even a diabetic friendly treat.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 cup Light Agave
1/2 cup Sunflower Oil (you can use coconut oil, but I was trying to keep the saturated
fat content low in these)
1/3 cup Stevia
20 tsp Peanut butter, creamy
Directions:
1. Combine and mix the first four ingredients until it makes a smooth, and somewhat runny mixture.
2. Line a mini cupcake pan with paper-cups. There should be about 20.
3. Place 1 tsp of the chocolate mix at the bottom of each cup.
4. Spoon 1 tsp or small dollop of peanut butter on top of the 1st chocolate layer.
5. Spoon 1 more tsp of the chocolate mixture on top of each peanut butter layer, making sure it is covered. 6. Freeze for 1-2 hours.
**Store in an airtight container in the freezer. Since these have a large coconut oil base, they will easily melt outside of the freezer.
Servings: 20
