Bite-sized Protein Peanut Butter Cups
Do you want to add more greens into your family’s day? Do it with peanut butter cups. That’s right, peanut butter cups. This quick and easy dessert, made with Protein & Greens, is a family-friendly way to sneak 2 servings of greens into every bite-sized batch! As originally posted on MyVega.Com
Ingredients:
4 tbsp peanut butter (or your fave nut butter – I’ve made these the cashew and almond butter too)
1 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
1/2-1 tbsp coconut oil
1 scoop Vanilla Protein & Greens (or Vega Sport Performance Protein)
Optional: chopped peanuts (or your fave nut) and sea salt
Instructions:
Stir peanut butter, Protein & Greens and coconut oil with a spoon until smooth. Start with 1/2 tbsp coconut oil and add more if necessary. Set aside.
Temper chocolate – to temper chocolate, reserve one third of the chocolate chips. Melt remaining two thirds over a double boiler. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in remaining chocolate chips. Stir until fully melted and mixed. This will ensure an even consistency and that the chocolate sets.
Add a layer of chocolate to the bottom of 12 mini (6 regular) silicon cupcake liners. Drop a dollop of peanut butter mixture onto the chocolate to each and lightly spread. Coat with each with chocolate.
Optional: lightly sprinkle chopped peanuts and sea salt on each cup
Store in the freezer for at least 20 minutes or until ready to serve
