How to Make Healthy Peanut Butter Cups

When making Healthy Peanut Butter Cups, start by getting your muffin tin ready and then adding some coconut oil to your chocolate before you begin melting it. After melting the chocolate, add a bit of it to the bottom of each muffin insert, freeze it, and then work on making your peanut butter mixture.

You’ll need to blend peanut butter with vanilla extract and syrup before adding it on top of the bottom chocolate layer. Put the muffin tin tray back in the freezer for an additional five minutes, pull it out, pour more chocolate on top of the peanut butter, and freeze again. It’s a step-by-step process, but it is a simple one.

Variations of the Healthy Peanut Butter Cups

You can make several variations of the Healthy Peanut Butter Cups. I’ve used white chocolate and milk chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate chips many times.

You can also choose any type of natural peanut butter you would like, such as creamy or crunchy. If you can’t eat peanut butter, you can substitute it with something else, such as cookie butter or almond butter. It’s all about making them taste the way that you like the most.
