Crunchy Peanut Butter Cups

Hands up who’s obsessed with peanut butter? These crunchy peanut butter cups really hit the spot. They take 5 minutes to make, half an hour to freeze and only require a handful of ingredients. For that crunch we added activated buckinis and shredded coconut. These aren’t a guilty pleasure, they are simply a pleasure to eat!

Our journey towards zero waste is in full force. You can find all of these ingredients at your local The Source Bulk Foods store. We are also in the habit of taking our jars with us to refill. An excellent way to really reduce waste.

A filling and guilt free snack. The size of these cups is about 3-4 bites worth, so you’re not over eating here. The protein and fat in these cups fill you up, balance your blood sugars and satisfy.

1 peanut butter cup is giving you over 10 grams of protein through the peanut butter, and activated buckinis.

Cacao is rich in minerals, mainly magnesium. An essential mineral for nervous system function including nervous tension, energy, stress and sleep.

These crunchy peanut butter cups are vegan friendly, gluten free and refined sugar free.
