No Bake, Keto Peanut Butter Cups

Next time I will know to smooth their tops
and level them while in the freezer.
This recipe is so easy, it took me about 10 minutes all together. 

It makes 9 peanut butter cups that will leave you feeling full afterwards. 

This snack is a good quick fix if you need a snack to survive cooking a meal. 

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of melted butter
6 pieces of 90% dark chocolate
1/4 cup of granulated sweetener
10 drops of liquid sweetener
1 tablespoon heavy cream
4 tablespoons of peanut butter
1 teaspoon of unsweetened chocolate almond milk

Prep work:
-Melt 1/2 cup of butter.
-Line a cupcake tray with cupcake papers.

Procedure:
-Melt chocolate and sweetener with the butter.
-Stir in cream, peanut butter, liquid sweetener and almond milk.
-Divide ingredients in the cupcakes papers.
-Smooth the tops for even texture on the tops (I did not worry about this). The peanut butter cups firm quickly, I recommend doing this immediately after each is poured.
-Freeze, they will firm up quickly and are able to be eaten after 10-15 minutes.


Keep the peanut butter cups in the freezer, they melt quickly. 

****An easy way to reduce carbs is to switch out the typical Kraft Peanut Butter (again, using what I have) and to use a low sugar peanut butter.

Welcome To My Cook Book

Hi,

I recently decided to revamp my cookbook with
the very best Keto recipes I could find.
Bye, bye carbs! 
My name is Kate Bruce. This is a special blog I have created to essentially electronically log keto recipes I make. I have been on a low carb diet since the end of April and lost 30lbs. I feel better than ever, I have rare cravings for sugary foods but I never seem to want grains. I love my new lifestyle, yes there are compromises but I feel better now than ever. It has also brought my boyfriend and I closer because we spend time cooking food rather than making meals out of boxes. I started keto as a 30 day challenge to myself and have been living low carb for over five months now, over the summer our kitchen was like a science lab every evening. Every night we tried something new, or a little different and enjoyed the results of our experiences.


I am not going to recap my tips for weight loss, or experience here. If you would like to find out more on that check out my personal blog at:

If you have stumbled upon this, feel free to try and share my recipes. Most of them are taken from other pages and tweaked to my liking.


Good luck and enjoy!

Kate
