Peanut butter and chocolate, do I need to sell this?! A delicious treat filled with healthy ingredients and no processed nasties. For these I used Macro Mikes Pb+ to make the peanut butter (you can use normal PB but I recommend you give this a try!) Aussie owned, this PB Powder is filled with plant protein and all natural ingredients, support aussies!! It’s also delicious 😍
For the peanut butter chocolate
- 190g cocoa butter melted
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (I used Macro Mikes PB+ mixed with water for my PB)
- 1/4 cup cacao or cocoa powder
- 4tbsp honey/maple syrup or granulated natural sweetener for low carb
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt (if your peanut butter is unsalted!)
1. Melt cocoa butter in either a double boiler (will give smoothest texture) or microwave (less smooth but who cares it’s delicious!)
2. Pour into a bowl and stir in all remaining ingredients
3. Pour into candy moulds, I’ve cube trays, silicon cups or onto a lined tray to make chocolate bark
4. Top with Candied peanuts (recipe below)

6. Store in fridge
