By CheeseDiva

If you’re reading this, I’ll assume you’ve had a Reese’s peanut butter cup at least once in your lifetime. I mean, who hasn’t? Not only are they available year round, they also come in fun shapes around the holidays. Do Reese’s trees and Reese’s eggs sound familiar? If you’re a fan of the popular peanut butter cups, your mouth is probably salivating right about now. Unfortunately, a deeper look into Reese’s ingredients might make you question that last minute purchase at the checkout line. As delicious as they are, Reese’s peanut butter cups can be detrimental to your health.

Ingredients

• 12 muffin tin liners
• 12 ounces of organic dark chocolate
• 1 cup of organic peanut butter
• 1/4 cup of raw honey
• 1/4 teaspoon of organic salt

Preparation

Step 1

Make the muffin cups more shallow by trimming them.
Using a small saucepan, melt the chocolate on low heat while stirring continually. Leave it on for 1-2 minutes and be careful not to overcook.
Using a teaspoon, put chocolate portions into the muffin cups.
Place the whole muffin tin into the fridge to solidify.
In a medium bowl, mix the organic peanut butter, raw honey and salt.
Once the chocolate in the fridge has hardened, heat the peanut butter in a small saucepan over low heat to soften it.
Put a small portion of peanut butter into each of the chocolate-coated cups leaving some room at the top for another layer of chocolate.
Store the cups in the fridge for 10 minutes, then spread and flatten the peanut butter.
Put the cups back in the fridge for 1 hour or until the peanut butter hardens.
When the peanut butter is ready, rewarm the remaining chocolate and add a layer to the top of each candy.
Cool it once again in your fridge until the chocolate hardens.
Enjoy!
