Valentine's Day Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! Mark and I celebrated Valentine's Day yesterday late afternoon. We went to The Mill Wharf in Scituate, Ma for an early dinner. This restaurant is right on the water in Scituate Harbor so the view is the ocean and boats. Absolutely breath-taking. Dinner was delicious. I am still amazed at the serving sizes they give you. We had to take everything home. I simply cannot eat that much.
Remember the saying...“You got peanut butter on my chocolate!” The peanut butter eater would complain, “You got chocolate in my peanut butter!” ... Two great tastes that taste great together, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. You MUST remember! Now you can have this taste without the fat, calories, added sugar, processed crap that is in a real Reese's. My Chocolate peanut butter cups are a delicious combination of almond butter, sunflower seed butter, and chocolate. The mild, nutty flavor of the sunflower seed butter compliments the rich, nutty flavor of almond butter perfectly so you get just enough flavor of each nut butter without either of them being too over-powering. Enjoy life chocolate chips are nut free, dairy free, soy free and wheat free. You can also use 85% Cacao chocolate if you prefer.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of creamy raw, no salt almond butter
1/2 cup of creamy sun-butter
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tablespoon of honey or 2 stevia's if you want it to be sugar-free
1 tablespoon coconut oil
pinch of sea salt
1 package of enjoy life chocolate chips
STEPS:
1) Place all ingredients(except chocolate chips) in a blender, a mixer or stir well by hand.
2) melt an entire package of enjoy life chocolate chips in a pan on low heat on the stove. Stirring constantly.
3) Add a spoonful of melted chocolate into 10-12 of your mini muffin tins then place in freezer for 10-15 min until hardened. You don't need to grease tins. ** you can also use parchment paper muffin liners. These work really well!
4) Add a spoonful of "peanut butter" mixture on top of hardened chocolate.
5) Add a spoonful more of melted chocolate on top of "peanut butter" mixture.
6) place in freezer until hardened(about 30 minutes). They should pop out easily once completely hardened using a sharp knife if you are not using the parchment paper muffin liners.
