I remember reading a really easy recipe using either cocoa or unsweetened chocolate to make sort of a reese cup type candy. It seems as though it only had a few ingredients. Does anyone have that recipe? Thanks.

bevben...sorry I cannot help you with this one...I don't remember it, but I had to pop on here and say hello to another fellow West Virginian! And I know Alderson is a bit away from it, but I just had to tell you I went to Alderson-Broaddus College!!

I don't think it was ever posted on this forum, but I did mention that I have such a recipe. Email me if you would like it

Hello PAmom. It's nice to here from someone else in West Virginia. From what I've been told you went to a great college.

This might be the one your looking for. I copied off this sight about a week ago. I haven't tried them yet but they do sound wonderful!

Peanut Butter Cups

1 stick unsalted butter
1 square unsweetened bakers chocolate
4 Tbs. natual peanut butter
2 tsp. light or heavy cream
1/3 cup Splenda (pourable) or ( use 6 packets)

Melt butter, chocolate, and splenda over low heat. Remove from heat, add penaut butter and cream. Pour into foiled lined muffin cups and freeze.

Hey my family is from Webster Springs, West Virginia! Beautiful country!

MFarm!

I made these yesterday. WooHOOO!!! Dangerously delicious things, aren't they?

I decided I'd better keep them in the freezer as they are just too temping to keep in in view.

I made them in silver foil cupcake holders, so they look just like Reeces Peanutbutter cups.

I might reduce the butter next time and increase the chocolate a bit.

Does anyone know how many carbs is in one "cup"?

Hey what if I added nuts or unsweetened coconut (even though it contains peanut butter). Just the thought makes my mouth water.

Using mfarm's recipe above, (choosing 6 packets of splenda rather than 1/3 c. granualr splenda), this is the nutritional break down I got:

6 servings

238 calories
24 g fat
12 g saturated fat
45 mg cholesterol
4 g carbohydrate
.7 g fiber
3.4 g protein

So, I count them as 3 g net carbs each.
