Peanut butter cups! ketorecipes

I made these peanut butter cups

---

INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/4 cup butter 3 ounces cacao butter, chopped 1/3 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 4 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment paper cupcake liners. Alternatively, you can use silicone muffin cups.

2. Melt the peanut butter, butter, and cacao butter together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Stir in the sweetener and vanilla extract until well combined and no lumps remain.

3. Divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

4. Set a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Put the chocolate in the bowl and stir until melted and smooth.

5. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon over each peanut butter cup and spread to the edges. Return the cups to the refrigerator until set, another 10 to 15 minutes.

Store in the refrigerator. Keeps for up to a week.

SO GOOD! I will definitely vouch for them. They actually taste and feel like real Reese's PB cups, minus the outer shell. I made mine in little mini cupcake liners to make them go further. (So I got 24 instead of 12)

Only thing I did different was add 1 extra ounce of chocolate and some sweetener to the melted chocolate (liquid sucralose) cause my 90% is too bitter for me. I also ground some sea salt on top before putting in the fridge to chill. I liked these SO much I ordered a new silicone mold to make little 2 bite chocolate bars.

Cocoa butter is the one not easily found ingredient, but I ordered some on Amazon just to make these (and I'm sure I'll find other uses).

The specific ingredients I used came out to 1.5 net carbs per mini cup.
