Talking Peanut butter cups

I love peanut butter and chocolate--probably my fav combo of food!!! These are pretty tasty!! The recipe says it makes 10 but I can get at the most 8 out of the ingredients. I only make 6 now so they are a pretty good size!

Peanut Butter Cups
1 stick unsalted butter (I use salted!)
1 oz unsweetened chocolate
1/3 c Splenda
1 T heavy cream
4 T peanut butter
chopped walnuts (I don't use these)

Melt butter, chocolate, and Splenda in the microwave. Stir in cream and peanut butter. Line 10 (or in my case 6) muffin tins with cupcake papers. Place nuts in the bottom of each tin. Divide chocolate mixture between the tins. Freeze until firm. These need to be stored in the freezer because they melt quick. You can eat them right out of the freezer.

Don;t know where I got this but the posters name was Dexmis.

Enjoy all!
Linda

Thanks for posting that, sounds yummy. I tried Russell Stover's sugar free peanut butter cups and boy was I impressed. They are about 4 carbs a peice but they were really good. I got them in the hospital gift shop and have never seen them anywhere else. I made the vancouver c heese cake over the weekend but I didn't like the taste. I guess I'll try some of the other ones. Well, take care and thanks again. Lisa

Wow Fern,
I'm sitting here eating my peanut butter cups from your recipe with a dollop of whipped cream and I am dying. They're really really good. Thanks again

Fern,

These sound great! They contain two of my favorite food groups: peanut butter and chocolate! Think I'll run down to the kitchen and whip up a batch.

I have been using the pure sucralose (from Best Body Supplements, http://www.bestbodyproducts.com/supp/sucralose.htm) for just about everything and if I use that, according to my calculations, 6 of these would contain a measly 2 carbs each - Yay! Of course 10 would have only 1.1, but why skimp?


Thanks

Karla

My, are these good! My DH thinks I should serve them with a little whipped cream, which would be good, but we both loved them plain, too.

This recipe goes directly into my favorite file.

Thanks

Karla

Arrow Hi there

Dear Fern,

I hope you dont mind me asking you a question?

I see you have lost 52% in just over a year . It would be really helpful if you could say at what rate this loss happened . Was it constant and slow or was it in spurts . Was it easy going or did you have to work hard at it ?

I am not happy with my little weight loss , trying to keep my intake down to 10X body weight in Calories , and I do exercise but not vigoruosly cos I dont have the stamina .

Otherwise, I do feel great and enjoy my food . I am still on induction after 3 weeks , cos I'm afraid that if I up my carbs that I will halt any potential losses . Should I continue like this or up the carbs? I am also trying to limit the fat intake to not more than 75% , sometimes less .

Thanks for answering


Rob

Hi Rob!
I actually went from 187 to 169 in about 5 weeks when I first started! Eventually got down to 165 but then I came off the CKD and went back to not watching carbs. Got back on the CKD in January and haven't lost a lot since then but I feel good! It is not easy by any means doing a CKD. Lots and lots of exercising!!

Feel free to read my journal if you have any other questions, you can post them there! I will look to see if you have one!

Linda

Question.....

How much is in one stick of butter? I buy it in pound bricks, so an equivalent measurement would be really helpful! Thanks!
