If you take away the peanut butter is it still a peanut butter cup?
Hubby is/was a peanut butter cup addict. Could eat them by the bag full. So I wondered, how hard could it be to recreate his obsession? Considering peanuts are out, so no peanut butter, we needed something a little healthier. We went with Almond Butter, which if you haven't tried it is probably tastier than peanut butter. So this was a small batch, and would probably make about 15 candies in a mold. But he always complained about the little peanut butter cups. Said took more effort to unwrap then they were worth. So go big or go home, right? I pulled out some mini paper muffin liners. And went to work. Chocolate 2 oz cocoa butter 1.5 oz unsweetened cocoa powder 1 oz swerve sweetener (or your choice) 1/2 tsp vanilla Filling 2 tbs butter 1/4 cup almond butter 1 tbsp swerve (or your choice) Make the filling first. I did not do that and was fervently mixing the chocolate to keep it from hardening while I made the filling so bad idea. Melt the Almond Butte...
