Low Carb Peanut Butter Cups
Peanut butter and chocolate. Is there really a better combination? Sure, there’s bacon and eggs, cookies and cream, and biscuits and gravy, but nothing comes close to the all-mighty peanut butter and chocolate duo.
The only problem is, if you’re trying to stay away from sugar and carbs, it’s hard to find a good peanut butter cup. I’ve always heard, “All good inventions are created out of necessity“, and I think that could be said of this recipe!
When I could no longer deprive myself of the simple pleasure of enjoying a peanut butter cup, I knew I had to do something.
Why Upside Down?
I wish I had a really interesting answer to this question. I wish I could say that turning them upside down made them taste better or that it made some special ingredient really stand out…. but I can’t.
The truth is, the only reason I turned them upside down is because the bottom layer of chocolate was really smooth and looked great, and the top layer… didn’t.
Either way, if you eat them right side up or upside down, they will still taste scrumptious!
Good In Every Way
These peanut butter cups are chalked full of delicious ingredients and not sugar and carbs. Trust me though, unless you look at the recipe, you would never know!
They taste so close to the real thing that it’s almost scary. If you’re following a strict low carb – low sugar diet, you know exactly what I’m talking about; you bite into something and it tastes a little too good, and you think to yourself, “Oh no, did I just eat something I shouldn’t have!?”
With this recipe you won’t have to worry. The best part is, unless you go absolutely overboard, you can snack on these delicious treats all day and feel no guilt!
