Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (85% cocoa or higher)
- 120 grams natural peanut butter (no added sugar)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons stevia or erythritol sweetener
Instructions
Line a 12-cup muffin tray with paper liners.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
Add the extra virgin olive oil to the chocolate.
Microwave the chocolate and oil mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Spoon about a teaspoon of the melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin cup, spreading it slightly up the sides.
Place the tray in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden while preparing the peanut butter mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, vanilla extract, sea salt, and stevia (or erythritol), mixing until smooth.
Remove the muffin tray from the refrigerator and divide the peanut butter mixture evenly among the 12 cups.
Top each peanut butter-filled cup with the remaining melted chocolate, ensuring the peanut butter is completely covered.
Return the tray to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour or until the cups are completely set.
Enjoy these delicious Mediterranean Diet Atkins Peanut Butter Cups straight from the refrigerator, storing any extras in an airtight container.
