Low-Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

2/6/2020

0 Comments

 
My chocolate peanut butter cups are a lower carb version Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.  They are just sweet enough to keep my sweet tooth happy. The recipe gets plenty of healthy fat from the coconut oil and peanut butter and they are so easy to make. Be sure to store them in the refrigerator because the high coconut oil content allows them to melt at room temperature. In the photo below you can see that I sprinkled them with chopped rose petals and flaked sea salt. The rose petals are from my garden and dried in a hanging drying rack. I ground them in my spice grinder. 

​¼  cup creamy, natural peanut butter or almond butter
½ cup coconut oil
2 ounces dark chocolate (85% cocoa), roughly chopped-chocolate chips are fine too
Optional Toppings: 2 teaspoons Ground rose petals, Flaked salt


  1. Put peanut butter, coconut oil, and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Remove and stir. Add 30 seconds more if needed to melt all the ingredients.
  2. Line up your mini muffin cups onto a baking sheet. Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin cups.
  3. Put the tray of chocolates into the refrigerator or freezer to set for at least 2 hours. Keep stored in the refrigerator or freezer. If left at room temperature, these chocolate cups will melt!
 

  • If topping with crushed flower petals and flaked salt, heat your oven to 300 degrees.
Have your toppings ready. You are just trying to soften up the top layer of the chocolate cups-to just barely melt them so your toppings will stick to the top.
Place the pan into the oven for 10 seconds-keep the door open. Sprinkle on a pinch of rose petals and then a pinch of flaked salt. Refrigerate for ½ hour. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
