You with me on this one?!?!
Ahh this combination is one of my favorites!! Growing up and well into my adulthood I have always been a sucker for those little chocolate and peanut butter cups. Unfortunately the traditional peanut butter cups are not all that good for you - sorry to be the bearer of bad news!!
The great news is that I now have a healthy alternative for you!
You can thank me later when your kids start to beg you to make these and you don't have to worry about all the chemicals they are putting in their bodies!! The Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup recipe I have to share with you is made with Shakeology, natural Peanut Butter, and Coconut Oil - that is it!!
Get ready for your mouth to water....

Ingredients....
12 tablespoons coconut oil (divided 6 tablespoons each)
3 packets or scoops of Chocolate Shakeology (divided 1.5 packets/1.5 scoops each)
12 Teaspoons natural peanut butter, divided
Directions...
1. Place 6 tablespoons coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds or until oil is liquified
2. Stir in 1.5 packets or scoops of Chocolate Shakeology. Mix well
3. Using a 12 muffin tin, divide the chocolate mixture evenly between the 12 spots
4. Place muffin tray in freezer for 5 minutes
5. Take the muffin tray out of freezer and on each solid piece of chocolate place 1 teaspoon peanut butter. Spread evenly over each chocolate piece with a knife.
6. Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons coconut oil in microwave for 30 seconds.
7. Stir in remaining 1.5 packets/scoops Chocolate Shakeology. Mix well.
8. Now on top of the peanut butter evenly divide the chocolate mixture.

These for sure are a keeper and a great alternative to the traditional peanut butter cups!!
