To everyone who tried Ferns wonderful recipe!
What I did was separate out the choc from the peanut butter and made it like a real Reeses PB cup. I keep them in the freezer and they taste SO GOOD!

I used a little butter, 1 oz unsweetened choc, 1 tbsp vanilla and a few packs of splenda for the shell. Put it in the pan and froze it.

The PB is the same as Ferns but I added 1 oz cream cheese.

Anyway, just a suggestion. Try it out.

We tried something like that - make a shell of chocolate and then Steve made a raspberry cream filling. We omitted the peanut butter completely, but honestly I found them much more solid than the originals and not my favorite. But all the fun is in the experimentation!

I first tried this delicious decadence w/salted but since it is going to be a regular for me, I bought some unsalted butter. Maybe it is my imagination but it seems to me that the peanut butter 'settles' in the middle of the cup, looking more like a peanut butter cup, with the unsalted butter. Is this possible?

Salt, no salt, these are fantastic.

I got a "Mounds" bar taste by filling the chocolate shell with a coconut cream mixture. I hydrated 5T of dried, unsweetened grated coconut with some heavy cream and stirred in about 3 oz. softened cream cheese. Yummy!

YUM Thanks fot that tip Virginia--sounds great!

I just found some Atkins peanut butter cups at Wal Mart. They are very creamy and taste delicious!!

Linda,
Can I tell you I haven't even tasted the finished product yet and just licking the bowl is delicious. WOO HOO! I can't wait for the cups to set.

I made these last night...Wow!
What a treat!

Thank you so much for posting this recipe for all of us chocolate/peanut butter lovers.

These are awesome!! The last batch I made I doubled the recipe.

For a single batch I use 4 "packets" of Splenda instead of 1/3 cup from the box.

Oh this is a wonderful recipe I can't wait to try these (My sis is on the low carb and I know she misses her chocolate) With the holidays here these will make a great gift idea.....Thanks again!! (I know I'll have to sample them as well..LOL

This should get some laughs, I just have to share it.

Today I decided to make these PB cups. I have been making things and having my boyfriend try them. I dont want to resort to the "sweet" things until I actually have a craving. But I still want him to tell me how it is so that I know if I should make it again.

Well It smelled so good I could barely wait til they hardened in the freezer. Well they hardened just fine, and they looked so good, I just had to try just 1! So I took one out and closed my eyes while I bit into it and....

My eyes shot open quit! Then with probably the funniest face ever made, I ran to the trash can, wow too dark chocolate for me. But this is what I found out what happend, I didnt add enough PB! It calls for 4 T and I only put 1 T

So silly of me! Guess they are boyfriends' now, unless I melt them down again and add more PB. Dunno yet.

Just had to share the funny story!

These sound wonderful... can't wait until it's time for me to try these. I was browsing the candy section at the store yesterday... checking out the sugar free PB cups - HA they had almost 20 carbs in ONE.... needless to say I didn't touch 'em. (I am a sugar addict if there ever was one.)

These sound a bit more like it... 2 carbs each.

Thanks for sharing!

THANK YOU FERN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have now made these numerous times, and I have resorted to making them in mini muffin pans, this way I won't eat too many.

My kids love them and think they are really getting a special treat.

Thanks for sharing this WONDERFUL lifesaver for us that crave chocolate & peanut butter.

I think that these sound wonderful and am going to make these very soon. I only have one question. What is the carb content on each of these?
