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?

  1. Hi Teri
    Your peanut butter cups look divine- all your recipes actually!
    Just a quick W – your puffed rice, do you mean the commercial breakfast cereal? Kelloggs Rice Bubbles?

  2. And can we please get a recipe with metric measurements? I don’t keep chocolate chips around and only use chocolate barks and sometimes wafers, and I’m planning on using puffed quinoa instead of puffed rice
