Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, add a sprinkle of crushed peanuts to the peanut butter layer before topping with chocolate.
• Use natural peanut butter for a more wholesome flavor, or try almond butter as a delicious alternative.
• Make sure to stir the chocolate well between microwaving intervals to avoid burning and promote even melting.

Storage

Keep the peanut butter cups refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week. For firmer texture, store them in the freezer and allow to soften slightly at room temperature before eating.

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of Truvia sweetener?

Yes, you can substitute regular sugar, but the texture and sweetness level may vary. Adjust the amount to your taste since sugar is less sweet than Truvia.

Can I make these peanut butter cups ahead of time?

Absolutely! They store well in the fridge for several days and can also be frozen for longer storage. Just thaw before serving.

Notes

• For easier removal, allow peanut butter cups to warm slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before unwrapping.
• You can substitute the sugar-free chocolate chips with regular dark chocolate if you prefer, but this will increase sugar content.
• Ensure the peanut butter is unsweetened and natural for the best result without added sugars.
• These can also be stored in the freezer for longer shelf life if desired.
