No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups Recipe
Recipe Description:
Mmmmmm. Such a delicious treat that can hardly be deemed as a "treat." It is packed with nutrition, from the iron, complete protein, calcium, fiber, and antioxidants of the chia seeds to the good fat in the peanut butter to the antifungal properties, healthy fat, and lauric acid of the coconut oil. I used coconut sugar, which is low on the glycemic index so it doesn't spike your blood sugar and there is only a very small amount in the recipe. The chocolate gives it a rich flavor and is what makes this a treat. Go make these...they are delicious and you don't have to feel any guilt when eating them!
Recipe
Instructions:
Combine everything but the chocolate chips and milk over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. In a separate pot, melt the chocolate chips slowly over very low heat and mix in the milk. Remove when the mixture is smooth.
Line mini muffin tins with paper liners. Fill each muffin tin about halfway to three-fourths of the way full with the peanut butter mixture (it will seem very runny). Next, scoop a bit of chocolate and top each liner with chocolate mixture. Place muffin tins in freezer until firm (this only took 15-20 minutes for me). Enjoy these "treats" straight from the freezer! Store either in the freezer or the refrigerator...they will become a puddle if you leave them out (especially in Arizona!).
*Tip: Place muffin tins with just the peanut butter mixture in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before scooping on the chocolate layer to avoid the chocolate sinking to the bottom of the mixture.
