I had some Reese’s peanut butter cups a few nights ago before I rode and ever since then I have been craving more of them. So, I decided to make some healthy ones with a little twist. I decided to go with dark chocolate raspberry peanut butter cups.
I really should make homemade peanut butter cups more often. They are so easy to make and actually pretty quick. For these ones, I only used 4 simple ingredients: chocolate chips, coconut oil, peanut butter, and raspberry preserves.
One of the cool things about making your own peanut butter cups is that you can customize them any way you want. You could use dark, milk, or white chocolate. Then you can fill it with pretty much whatever you want. Peanut butter, almond butter, or any nut butter you want. You could even fill it with more chocolate.
