Spiced, salted dark chocolate peanut butter cups a fun & festive twist on my fave Halloweeen/ anytime candy {aka healthy homemade Reeses copy cat}!
I know they may not look very festive but, in my house, these pimped up PB cups are 100% essential on our Halloween snack table!
Lightly salted, perfectly spiced, vanilla infused peanut butter stuffed into in a decadent, rich, cool, crisp (espresso infused) dark chocolate cup that literally ooozzzeessss with awesomeness when you bite on in!
Halloween celebrations or not I firmly believe that every day should end with, or at least include at some point, dark chocolate & nut butter!
You with me?! Of course you are, you’re cool like that!

- Makes 8-10 mini cups of deliciousness
- Difficulty: Easy
- Ingredients
- For the Filling –
- 1/4 C peanut butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1-2 Tbsp powdered sweetener of choice – I love using a mix of powdered monk fruit / icing sugar (I just buy it @ woolworths) you can use regular icing sugar or powdered stevia if you prefer & Macro Mikes white chocolate almond protein (use AMB-EM to save $$). Coconut flour works too but not as smooth (or sweet/ authentic tasting)

- Pch of salt
- Optional add in
- 1 Tbsp collagen – great for hair, skin nails & gut healing goodness
- For the cups –
- 1 C dark chocolate
- 1/2 tsp finely ground instant espresso – technically opt but it really helps enhance the richness of the chocolate
I actually use 1 sachet of Before you speak coffees – magical adrenal reset decaf mocha – you can order online @ before you speak coffee and use EMS10 = 10% off if you want to try
