08 Oct Healthy Peanut Butter Cups {Pumpkin Style}
Do I need to really explain the love for peanut butter cups? I didn’t think so. These healthy peanut butter cups are perfect if you’re wanting a treat to make either for Halloween or any average day. They are INSANELY easy + you’ll think to yourself – “how did I ever NOT make these?” Having good molds makes this recipe easy + since we’re talking {pumpkin style}, here is where you can get your own pumpkin silicon molds.
Feel free to use in this recipe almond butter or another butter, instead of peanut butter. For me though, I really wanted to use some peanut butter – that classic feel, ya feel me? Another favorite nut butter is cashew butter, so if you can’t do almonds OR peanuts, that is a great option!
If you love this recipe, try our healthier homemade snickers. You won’t buy the regular stuff any more!! I keep our Snickers in the freezer, so we can have them for a longer period of time + enjoy them when we want!
