DANG THESE ARE GOOD. (I have another recipe here for them)
I am an admitted chocoholic, as well as a peanut-butter-holic. So these are pure bliss bites.
As I've said, I simply cannot afford raw jungle peanuts from strange and beautiful lands... no matter how much I wish I could. So I use toasted peanuts and make 'em into butter in the Vita-Mix.
Peanut Butter Cups: makes around 5-6
4oz chocolate (I used Lindt, about 1 bar)
1/3 cup peanut butter
2 T nutritional yeast
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Meanwhile, mix the nutritional yeast with the peanut butter until smooth. Get bendable cupcake molds (I use reusable silicon ones, they're cute and very handy) and pour a wee bit of chocolate into the bottom of each mold - you should have used nearly half the chocolate all together when finished with this step.
Next, put almost a tablespoon of PB in mold, but don't let it touch the sides. Then pour the rest of the chocolate into each mold, making sure it covers all the PB and touches the sides. Chill for a couple hours until they're hard and you can take them out of their molds.
Maybe I should tell you not to eat too many of these or something... but honestly - stuff yo face. They're worth it and c'mon people, it's organic dark chocolate and homemade peanut butter. Let's enjoy life, not moderate it. YUM!
