Thanks for pointing this out, Laura! It looks like the nutrition info was off. I just updated it. Hope you enjoy them if you give them a try!
I’m completely addicted to these! I make my own cashew butter and use that in place of the peanut butter. Either way it’s FANTASTIC!!! It also has ways less sugar (honey), so when I eat other things made with chocolate I find them too sweet.
Can you substitute coco powder?
Yes, i think you can!
YUM’d! This looks delicious.
Thanks Lorelai! I will check it out later. Hope you have a great day!
Peanut butter cups are my favorite! Love that you made your own! They look amazing!
Thanks Kelly! 🙂
