How to make Healthy Pumpkin Reese’s Cups
Initial Cup
•Melt 1/2 the chocolate and coconut oil and drizzle into silicone muffin cups, moving chocolate to go up the sides. Refrigerate or freeze until solid.
Filling
•Mix all your ingredients in a bowl except chocolate chips, coconut oil and salt.
•Add about a tbsp of your mix into the chocolate cups and flatten.
Finishing
•Cover with remaining chocolate and refrigerate to harden.
•Top with some sea salt if desired and enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
Alternatively, you can freeze the filling into just solid, and coat in chocolate
To melt your chocolate, I recommend doing it in increments of 20 seconds mixing each time. When almost melted, just mix until throughly smooth
You can omit the coconut oil, but the chocolate will be thicker and harder to coat.
FAQS
Can I use a different type of nut butter instead of natural nut butter?
Yes, you can use any nut butter you prefer, such as almond butter or cashew butter, as long as it is natural and unsweetened.
Is it necessary to use stevia for sweetness?
No, using stevia is optional. You can adjust the sweetness to your preference or omit it altogether if you prefer a less sweet flavor.
How should I store the Healthy Pumpkin Reese’s Cups?
Store the cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for longer shelf life.
Can I substitute the vanilla protein powder with another flavor?
Yes, you can use another flavor of protein powder, but keep in mind that it may alter the taste of the final product.
What can I use if I don't have silicone muffin cups?
If you don't have silicone muffin cups, you can use paper muffin liners or a regular muffin tin, but make sure to grease it well to prevent sticking.
