Recipe: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups (low added sugar)
Low added-sugar - Paleo - Primal - Vegan - Vegetarian - Organic - Fair Trade
Ingredients:
2 bars 85-95% organic Fair Trade chocolate*
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 jar of unsweetened peanut butter
1/2 to 3/4 cup of coconut flour
4 tablespoons maple syrup
3/4 stick of butter
wax paper
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except chocolate in a bowl and blend with a hand mixer or food processor
You should be able to roll nickel-sized pieces into a ball and have them mostly maintain their shape. If more flour is needed, add it.
Roll all the dough into little balls
Melt the chocolate in a saucepan on low heat until just melted then turn heat off
Drop one peanut butter ball into the chocolate and coat with melted chocolate. Remove with a spoon and place on a baking sheet with wax paper
Repeat until all chocolate coating is gone. If you have extra chocolate you can use the spoon to pour more onto the balls.
Freeze for 1 hour or refrigerate for several hours before enjoying.
*I use 95% Thrive Market brand or 85% Alter Eco brand. These do have sugar cane but it's a small amount and these chocolates don't taste too sweet.
