Peanut butter cups are hands down my favorite treat! And all I see right now are those little darn peanut butter eggs everywhere. It takes all I have not to buy a bag and gobble them up! So I decided to make my own this Easter.
By making my own peanut butter cups I am in charge of the ingredients, therefore, they are not loaded with sugar. They are pretty much just peanut butter and chocolate, clearly a match made in heaven 🙂
