Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

These taste very much like Reese's Peanut Butter cups, in my opinion.  Peanut Butter Cups have always been one of my weaknesses.  Well... anything with chocolate and peanut butter!  I hope you like them.  This will be my Resurrection Day treat, while the norms will have their candy from the store.  I can't help but think I'm the better off.  While I'm enjoying my treat, I'll also be thinking much on what a wonderful love, a deep love beyond what I can fathom, the Father had for me, in giving His Son to take my sin upon Himself and die for me, and then He rose again, with promise!

I hope you all have a very blessed celebration, and enjoy some chocolate!

                       Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Serving Size  : 12
Categories    : desserts

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        Peanut Butter Filling
  1/4       cup  unsweetened peanut butter
  4          packets  Truvia
  2          tablespoons  whey protein, Jarrow Formulas -- (unflavored, or vanilla)

                        Chocolate coating
  1        ounce  unsweetened chocolate -- chopped fine
  2        tablespoons  coconut oil
  3        packets  Truvia
  2        tablespoons  erythritol

Mix all the peanut butter filling ingredients together in a small bowl.  Knead with hands until it forms a smooth ball.  Roll into a log and cut into 12 pieces.  Roll each piece into a ball and set aside.

Mix the 3 packets of Truvia and the Erythritol in a coffee grinder or bullet blender and blend for 10 sec. intervals, shake inbetween, blend again for about 3 times or until it is like powdered sugar.  (This just makes  it smoother when added into the chocolate mixture.

Over low heat, in a small saucepan, melt the chocolate and the coconut oil, stirring until smooth.  Remove from heat and stir in the sweeteners until smooth.  With a spoon, drop just enough chocolate to fill the bottom of 12 mini muffin tins lined with paper liners.  Spray the liners with non-stick spray if desired, (makes them come out easier).  Add the peanut butter balls to each muffin liner, and press down flattening the tops.  Cover with remaining chocolate.
