I never even gave a though to making my own. I stumbled across these today and thought I’d share the good news. I had all the ingredients on hand and IMMEDIATELY made them. They are sooooooooo easy to make. I mean it … The recipe is at LovelyVeggiesandYoga.com ~ Peanut Butter Cups … This recipe makes 2 large cups BUT I used those mini candy wrappers and it made 6 cups. The perfect snack size for when you want something sweet but not too much.
You can go and do the recipe just as it is written, but I’ve made these now 3 or 4 times since. I don’t even measure anymore.
First put your candy wrappers inside the cups of a mini muffin pan. Then I just take some chocolate (whatever kind I have on hand), usually bittersweet because it has more antioxidants) and then I melt it, add a bit of vanilla and some LoHan for sweetening.
Then I pour it into the candy wrappers. Then I let it cool for 15 minutes or so. (you can put it in the freezer to speed up the process). While it’s hardening I mix up some peanut butter and some nutritional yeast. I don’t even measure it, I just taste it and see if I like it. When the hardened chocolates come out of the fridge, I spoon some peanut butter mixture onto the top of the hardened chocolate. Then I melt some more chocolate and pour it over the top. Then I let that harden.
I’m telling you … it’s such a JOY to do it. So easy, so delicious. Next time I make them I’ll give you all the measurements, but in the meantime, just go to the link I gave you above. You’ll see, you really won’t even measure the 2nd time you do it.
LOVE these things.
