OH. MY. GOODNESS 😍

These coconut oil peanut butter cups are just toooooo good! I may be slightly addicted. They are the perfect size for an after dinner treat to satisfy any sweet cravings you may have. The cups are salty and chocolatey and filled with good protein and fat in the form of natural peanut butter and coconut oil. 🙋

So, I was never a huge peanut butter lover and I definitely was not a fan of the PB cups you find in the stores. I am now officially a changed woman on the PB front! We love the nut butters, allll of them! Peanut butter has something special about it, I don’t know whether it is the way it sticks to every single bit of your mouth? Or it’s salty sweetness? But something makes it just wonderful. 

I mean, I am not denying that whoever thought up the idea of putting peanut butter with chocolate in a cup form was a genius. I thank them, very much for this glorious snack/dessert option. As you know, I am also obsessed with coconut, in every and any form so adding it to the peanut butter was a no brainer! Seriously, go make these asap! 

Basically, these are a win win, especially in areas of the heart. They are high in protein and potassium from the peanut butter, high in natural fats from the coconut oil & the dark chocolate helps to lower blood pressure and keep your heart healthy. So what are you waiting for? If you make these, let us know your thoughts as always 💚
