Happy Holidays Everyone! Today I am putting a holiday twist on an all time favorite, Peanut Butter Cups. These healthy vegan treats have all the fun, but none of the guilt or refined sugar. I have this chocolate in my freezer at all times.
Check out the video below to see how easy it is to make these little guys.
Ingredients
Chocolate
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (refined)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbs yacon syrup
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 tbs coconut oil (refined)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbs date paste
Servings: candies
Instructions
Chocolate
- Mix all wet ingredients together in a small bowl. Add cacao powder and whisk until well blended. Use about 1/2 teaspoon to distribute chocolate into holiday tree mold. Transport to freezer to set while making peanut butter filling.
Peanut Butter Filling
- Mix all ingredients together in small mixing bowl. Place filling into piping bag. Fill remainder of tree mold with peanut butter mixture. Let freeze for one hour.
Recipe Notes
Helpful Hint:
A little goes a long way with the chocolate sauce. Remember that the peanut butter is the superstar and let it shine. Also note peanut butter trees should be enjoyed straight out of the freezer.
