Peanut Butter Cups

Balancing the sweet and salty perfectly in these Peanut Butter Cups. They are raw, vegan and and enjoyable to make!

There isn’t a single soul I know that doesn’t love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. It literally catapults me back to childhood, rifling through my Halloween bag and finding all the single Reece’s PB cups and hiding them. I mean, with two brothers it had to be done. Today, I still enjoy them but instead of buying them I choose to make my own. I think we all know the benefits of doing it ourselves; less sugar, no preservatives, no chemicals, all the things. Plus, I give myself permission to enjoy a homemade treat with ZERO guilt. Food made with love is always 100% guilt free. Let’s make that a mantra shall we?
