With Valentine’s Day right around the corner is only right to bring you guys this heavenly No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Cups recipe. However, they’re so good you will find yourself making these over and over again! Guys, this one is seriously a must try!
Everything about these cups is amazing. They’re smooth, chewy with a hint of crunchiness. So chocolaty and nutty you won’t get enough of these. It’s seriously so hard to just have one.
My favorite part about recipes (other than cooking and eating them of course), is when they are easy to make. Especially when it comes to a sweet treat. Sometimes you just want something sweet and don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen making it. You certainly don’t want to have a million dishes to do after.

Are these No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups healthy?
Aside from the sugar the chocolate used to make these have, the filling has absolutely no added sugars. These are the chocolate chips used to make these. They’re dark chocolate, allergen friendly, and contain cane sugar which is usually less refined than white sugar or other additives.
This recipe calls for 1 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. Once melted it’s spread into 12 small muffin cups. The filling is made with absolutely no added sugars. It consists of peanut butter, dates, raw walnuts, coconut flour and coconut oil. When compared to any store bought Peanut Butter Chocolate Cups, these are a much cleaner option. Perfect to indulge in guilt-free!
