Healthy desserts aren’t usually my jam, I tend to lean towards real deal desserts (in moderation…well maybe). Dessert is life’s little treasures. However, I did get some requests for some healthier options so off I searched. I bring to you the Healthy-ish Peanut Butter Cup. Found this recipe by Fit Foodie Finds and decided to try it. I LOVE peanut butter and chocolate. I mean, really love it. Like, take a spoonful of peanut butter and dip it in chocolate chips kinda love.

First thing, these are so easy. Like, really easy. Melting, mixing, pouring and freezing. No baking or anything. And guess what, they are GOOD! It’s a wonderful little peanut butter chocolate package without all the sugar of a regular peanut butter cup. They taste real, if that makes any sense. Perfect for an after dinner little sweet snack that won’t send you into a downward spiral of eating everything sweet in the entire pantry. I might have experience in this. Ugh.

Give these a try, you won’t be disappointed! Follow me over on Facebook and Instagram @lolohomekitchen. Be sure to snap a pic if you make a Lolo’s recipe and tag it with #lolohk. I love to see what you are making!
