      I’m sure these would be great if I could just eat .7 Ozs. I’ll have to pass…too addicted to peanuts and chocolate!

        Great alternative to my favorite - Reeses with a few healthier changes. I used a double boiler for melting dark chocolate chips (never anything "sugar free") and Kroger Natural P.B. (NO PALM OIL)...placed jar in warm water for about 10 minutes. I don't use a microwave due to they destroy the majority of nutritional value in foods. Was well worth the extra effort.

        These are such a treat, I omitted the added sugar, and are delicious. They are rich tasting. I added chopped pecans for crunch.

          These were good. Next time I’ll add more chocolate… ran out halfway through the last step.

              Unfortunately no they melt quickly due to the coconut oil

              If it's because you don't want the added coconut taste, use the LouAna brand, not the liquid oil kind but the kind in the white tub that is solid below 76 degrees. That way, it will melt to mix with the melted sugar-free chips (I like Lily's brand), then harden in the fridge or freezer until you want one. The LouAna brand does not taste or smell like coconut. If you are allergic to coconuts, use butter.

                Question I have the Hershey’s chipits chunks dark chocolate it’s keto grade A bit this recipe calls for unsweetened chocolate so how much do i use for mine ?

                  You can use whatever chips at the same quantity. 70% dark cacao is better than unsweetened. Artificial sweeteners are very hard on the liver and the body does not know how to process them...I avoid anything artificially sweetened at all costs!

                  dovecreekwinns 3 years ago

                  The recipe calls for sugar-free chocolate, but it doesn't have to be unsweetened. It can be sweetened with a sugar-free sweetener or blend of sweeteners that you prefer. I use Lily's chips for things like this. If you use unsweetened chocolate and unsweetened peanut butter, it will not taste like a 'real' peanut butter cup. As for how much to use, that's up to your own taste, but I'd try 1/4 cup of powdered (not granulated) low-carb sweetener or an amount of liquid low-carb sweetener of the equivalent sweetness. You can also try adding a little sweetener to the peanut butter, too, if you want.

                OH MY GOD, what happens if you forget to add the coconut oil? AND I made 12 instead of 8....hope they're fine...

                  RealMoonpie a year ago

                  Bonus!! 😄 You can skip the oil and better to use dark chocolate than unsweetened. Oil just makes it easier to spread.

                  Will be fine just macros will be less! Coconut oil just helps the chocolate spread easier

                Can you substitute cocoa powder for the choc chips?

                • dovecreekwinns

                  dovecreekwinns 3 years ago

                  Sure, but you'll probably want to add sweetener too. I'd try 5 tables of cocoa powder along with 1/4 cup of powdered low-carb sweetener and maybe an extra tablespoon of butter. Adjust to suit your own tastes.

                • frommetovuu

                  frommetovuu 6 years ago

                  Yes! It will just be runnier but it will be frozen anyways.
