Peanut Butter Chocolate

My Peanut Butter Chocolate is something I make and enjoy all year round! It is very simple to make and the variations are endless!

One batch makes 10 small cups, each cup contains 4g of carbs making them a guilt-free way to get your chocolate fix!




You will need:

60g of cacao butter - coconut oil would also work
40g of raw cacao powder - you will find this at your local health food shop
30g of agave syrup - honey would work well too
30g of peanut butter - I use an Australian brand called "Pic's" it is just peanuts, oil and salt! You can find it at Coles.

1. Place cocoa butter into a metal bowl and gently melt over a pan of boiling water.
2. Once melted, slowly add the agave syrup and whisk gently.
3. Take the bowl off the heat and gradually sift in the cocoa powder, whisking as you go.
4. Spoon the melted chocolate into the cups, add your peanut butter then top with the remaining chocolate.
5. Allow the chocolate to set in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.

These chocolates must be stored in the fridge as they do have a tendency to melt quickly. This recipe is for dark chocolate, it is very slightly bitter, more agave syrup or honey can be added to counteract this.

If you are not a fan of peanut butter you can fill your chocolates with anything you desire!! In the past I have filled my chocolates with crushed nuts, frozen berries, orange rind and pumpkin seeds.

​Get creative and let me know how you go!!
