I ground flax seed, cinnamon and splenda and put it in the bottom of a muffin tin (the paper thing) then spooned the chocolate/peanut butter mixture on top. OH MY GOODNESS!!! It is almost sinful and it doesn't add extra carbs - please give it a try!

Wanted to add: I make the peanut butter cups in plastic ice cube trays. From one recipe I get about 14 which breaks down into a little over 2 carbs per "cube". I also add a little bit of heavy cream and softened cream cheese to the mix.

Thank you so much for the great idea. I will sure use the ice cube trays and try the cream cheese in the cups. I am having a hard time only eating one - I probably could eat all of them at one time if I allowed myself to do it. Have you tried putting the flax seed meal in the bottom of the tray yet - uum is it good Thanks again!

I finally tried this recipe, you would have thought I would gotten around to it earlier. Anyway, I made the mistake of using regular butter instead of unsalted! WOW, I never knew there was so much salt in butter!

Second batch worked out well, after running to the store and buying unsalted butter. But for some reason, I can't get over the idea that I am just eating flavored butter! All in all, a good way to get the fat count up for the day!

Hi,

I read this post yesterday & it got me drooling & searching through the cupboards for ingredients!

I did not have the unsweetened choc and a trip to my local (small) asda was unsuccessful so I improvised!

I used a very large slug of the da vinci chocolate sugar free syrup to replace the choc & the splenda.

As you can imagine the mixture was very sloppy & went a long way! Also it was still peanut butter coloured!

I have just tried one, and although it was nothing like the originals it was still very nice, but more of a frozen ice cream sort of texture.

I will def be making again, but will be useing small lolly moulds which will be bigger, but with out the carbs for the choc & the granulated splenda the recipie now only contains about 10 carbs all from the peanut butter!

So a failure on the looks front, but a thumbs up on the taste

Ok experiment time, DS and I are going to try this with only a couple modifications.

Mini muffin tins for portion control and coocnut cream since I don't have heavy cream around. Also erthynol (sp) instead of granular splenda. It's mostly for the kids as I've lost alot of my taste for sweets, but you never know I may get addicted to them as I love P&B

these look great linda . i will have to try them

Hi everyone!

I love love LOVE reeses peanut butter cups so 2night i attempted to make my own low carb ones - really easy peasy too!

recipe makes 4 -

melt 25g (about an ounce) of 75% chocolate (the good stuff) in the microwave and pour a teaspoon or so into the bottom of 4 mini muffin cases. Harden in the fridge, then take out and spoon again 25g (ounce) of sugar free peanut butter into the four cases (on the top of the chocolate) - pour the rest of the melted choc onto the top of the p/b to coat completely. Stick in the fridge to harden! ET VOILA! - havent tried one yet but i'll let you know how they taste! - Oh i nearly forgot, mine work out around 3.5 carbs per cup!

I made these last night before bed...they're gone. I did share & everyone is raving. I put chopped peanuts in the bottom of the cups (I love chocolate covered peanuts!), but the only thing I may do differently is add a small bit of paraffin wax to the mixture so they don't melt so quickly. I'd like to have them out for the holidays, but not have to refreeze them often.

I'm looking forward to making these soon, but I only have the packets of Splenda. How many should I use?

Rob I am from london also and would love to chat with a new lo carb friend. my e-mail is bic97~hotmail.com I have lost 25 pounds in 2 months would love to chat

I think I'm gonna try these out tonight-- major PMS o'er here needing some taming!

Ok. these really are FANTASTIC! I've made them once with unsalted butter, once with salted butter -- Hands down I prefer the salted butter. Also, I use CRUNCHY peanut butter and feel that it REALLY makes these special treats!

I made these last night and they taste great!
