Ok I am hearing all these wonderful responses about the great taste.. what am I doing wrong???

I bought a box of splenda.... used 1/3 cup .... Now... how much is (T)... Is that tablespoon? Maybe that is what I did wrong... not enough... I used teaspoon....

All I know is they tasted strange.. not sweet at all...

I made these again. I seem to have forgotten to put the splenda in...oh dear.

They are very peanut buttery, not bad. Just not as heavenly (addicting) as they were.

i want to make them with davinci sugar free (splenda) syrup but i am not sure how much to add to substitute for the granular splenda. any ideas, suggestions? anyone tried it?

thanks

well i made them, but i actually used salted butter so i'm not sure about the proper amount of davinci's syrup to add. i added about a third to a half cup. they turned out great. hard to stop eating them when you need a chocolate fix.

Can't wait to try making these after my 2 week induction
Thanks for sharing!

Well I decided I would look for sweet treats and I love Peanut Butter and chocolate and I must say these were mighty fine!!!

I used 3 Tablespoons of Splenda and as am in the U.K couldnt find no sugar choc so substituted it with Lindt Plain Chocolate 70% Cocoa which tastes foul on its own-so bitter there can hardly be any sugar in it!! My daughter age 6 insisted she wanted to try it on its own and you should have seen the look on her face-LOL!

I made 8 and ONE was just right for me-FOR NOW!!!!
Thanks again Linda!

This is just my 4th day but this cured my sweet tooth craving
Thank you.

i made these last night and they are edible, i ate two small ones but they are a little too bittersweet for me. i hate dark chocolate and hate semisweet chocolate and i know that is pretty much what the unsweeted chocolate tastes like. i used 6 packets of sweetner. would it help if i used more? I dont like things terribly sweet but dark chocolate tastes bitter. any suggestions

Try adding some cream cheese - warmed and softened - it will make it a little creamier. The other thing that works is some ricotta - 1-2 T. It changes the texture to a grainier feel, sort of like reeses crunchy cups. and it also makes them creamier.

Good luck!

HOLY CRIPES! I just made these for the first time and boy were they good! They weren't overly sweet like the reese's I used to eat before lc'ing. Very chocolately and peanut buttery and soooo good. Yummy!

Does anyone know the nutrition info (carb count, etc) for the peanut butter cup recipe on this site? I made them and they are good, but I am too lazy to figure out the count if I don't have to

I didn't make them exactly like the recipe says. I put in a little of the chocolate mixture. Popped it in the freezer. Then a blob of PB and more chocolate mixture on top. More like an actual peanut butter cup.

Hi there,

Here's the summary from Fitday for the ingredients listed in the recipe. You just need to divide by the number of cups you make. I usually get 8, so the net carb counts is 2.7.

I just tried the peanut butter-chocolate cups and they were excellent. I put a little cool whip on top and I added chopped pecans at the bottom of the cups. They were soooooo good. Thanks for sharing. I can live this lifestyle with low carbs treats like this.

Thanks a bunch!
