Popped Sorghum Pumpkin Krispy Treats
October 3, 2018These Naturally Sweet Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are great go-to for when that sweet craving hits!
One of my favorite candies has to be Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I mean what is better than peanut butter and chocolate? In my opinion, nothing! In attempt to re-create my favorite treat I made these Naturally Sweet Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. Super easy to make and delicious! I make a batch and keep them in the freezer for whenever I want one.
They are also great to make with your kids. Have them help you measure out the ingredients, mix the chocolate mixture together and spoon in the chocolate and peanut butter. 
Enjoy!!
