Dark Chocolate PB Cups


J and I think these taste a bit like Russell Stover. YMMV but 1 hour after eating 6 as a snack (yes, I know, WARNING these are hard to put down) my bG went up 3pts, at 2 hours it was up a total of 7 points. 3 hour reading is back to the beginning: 85. So I have hope that eating a reasonable amount, say 2 will have no affect.

Line 12 mini muffin cups with paper cups.

Melt the following in a saucepan over simmering heat while stirring, until melted:

2 TB Hershey Special Dark unsweetened cocoa
2 squares Lindt 85% Chocolate (can omit this)
2 TB heaping, solid coconut oil
2 TB erytrhitol

Then stir in:
1/4 t Fiber Fit or Sweetzfree
1 dropper of vanilla Stevia
pinch salt
1/2 TB butter

Turn off heat and remove pan. Use a teaspoon to pour a small amount in each cup. Place in freezer for about 10 minutes, does not have to be solid yet. Put the saucepan on the eye with the heat still off to keep the chocolate warm and liquid.

Measure out 1 1/2 TB Smuckers Natural Crunchy PB

Drop a small amount in the center of each chocolate. Pour a bit more chocolate over the top to cover. Place in freezer for 15 minutes, then you can eat them or put them in the fridge. If you leave them on the counter they will melt.

This choco mix can be used to make solid chocolate bars or shapes in molds. And is also for any suitable filling your heart desires..... like SF Raspberry preserves maybe?


For 12, each one:
55 cal/5 fat/1.06 carb/1 pro

If 24 solid chocolate ones:
18 cal/1.8 fat/1 carb/0 pro
