Yeah yall, this is REAL. I made these and they are easy to make, they are clean, and they are DELICIOUSSSS! Since I've been on the clean eating thing for awhile foods like milk chocolate just don't do it for me anymore- gimme that dark chocolate!

I bought these mini cupcake liners at Target for $9 (plenty for future peanut butter cups). These were really good and unfortunately next time I'm going to have to make 1 at a time because self control was a little (very) difficult with these puppies.

Servings: 8 peanut butter cups
Cook Time: 0
Prep Time: 10 mins

Ingredients
  • 6 square of dark chocolate (I used Lindt 80% Dark) ($2.50)
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Break up the dark chocolate and put it into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until the chocolate is all the way melted.

Combine the peanut butter and honey in a separate microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds- this makes it easier to mix. Stir the honey and peanut butter well.

Set out your 8 mini cupcake liners and evenly spoon 1/2 the chocolate into each liner. Now evenly distribute all the honey and peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate in each liner. Top each one off with the rest of the melted dark chocolate.

Place in the freezer for 30 minutes then enjoy!!

*lesson learned: set out the liners on a plate so you can easily transfer them all to the freezer. Almost had a man down on the transfer- melty chocolate peanut butter in paper is not the easiest to carry around..

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN SHAKE

Sunday, October 20, 2013

I've been eating dark chocolate (75% cocoa or more) to satisfy my inherent need for something sweet after every meal, and this has been great for the last few months but recently I got bored. SO BORED of dark chocolate. Growing up, my mom baked a new dessert every week and I have found myself day dreaming about her oatmeal butterscotch bars, chocolate caramel drizzle brownies, pineapple cakes...the list of butter-filled-gluten-flour-sugary goodness goes on.

Something I have learned in my journey of weight fluctuation, fitness and healthy eating is that when I find myself day dreaming about bad foods I'm on a slippery slope down. But this time I won 't let it win! I found a great recipes on the blog Whole Foods New Body that I played around with this week, and I plan on experimenting with my own dessert ideas this weekend (hello pumpkin somethings!). But if you're like me and need to satisfy that sweet tooth ASAP before you cave in and find yourself binge eating a pan of brownies and pint of Ben and Jerry's, head over to her blog for some awesome desserts. This is my favorite right now- took about 10 minutes to make and tastes delicious with a glass of almond milk:
