i'm wondering if you know how many carbs might be in this? just curious if you know off hand, or if anyone does

This is what I get when I plug this into Fitday for one peanut butter cup, when making 6 w/ the recipe. This is minus the walnuts. It is only about 2.4g of carbs per cup when making six.

I was able to finally make them....they're a lot sweeter than I expected so I think if I make them again I'd cut the Splenda in half and increase the cream, but that's just my tastes. Excellent recipe!

Thanks for posting this recipe.
I just made today. Really hit the spot Have to keep them tucked way back in the freezer.

Can any of you guys tell me approximately how long it takes for these peanut butter cups to freeze?

It didn't take very long for them to freeze at all. I was surprised. Maybe 15 min or so...

I made them yesterday for the 1st time and...wow!

Good luck!

I just tried this recipe and I must say these are pretty good. Does anyone get an after-taste with these tasty little treats?
I have to drink water after eating these things. Not a problem. They are very good.

Wow! I just started making these with crunchy almond butter instead of the peanut butter and now I can't decide which I like the best! That's not really a difficult a problem, because I make them often and just alternate nut butters.

I have some smooth macadamia butter, and I think I'll have to try that and add some crushed macadamia nuts because the crunchy texture is really good with the chocolate - mmmmm.

P.S.(Before anyone asks, you can get other-than-peanut butters at www.truefoodsmarket.com and www.nuts4u.com )

These are great! I also left the pb out of some of them and made just chocolate bars. They remind me of the Chunky bars.

A thousand thank-you's Fern!! These were fantastic!!

As I find Splenda to be very sweet, I used less Splenda, more chocolate, peanut butter, and cream, the same amount of butter.

Just so damn good!!

Janice

These are so good, I can't stand it! Even my husband, who hates peanut butter, thought they were fantastic (the first batch disappeared awfully fast!)

MY PROBLEM... I made these with the last two squares of unsweetened chocolate that I found in my box of baking supplies. I brought this to the UK from Canada three years ago, but figured that as the box was well sealed, it would be fine. It was, but now I discover that I CAN'T FIND UNSWEETENED CHOCOLATE IN THE UK!!!!!!!

The stores here sell this ultra-sweet stuff you melt and spread on like icing, or they sell "good" chocolate, complete with the sugar. My mom is coming next month, but seeing as we love these peanut butter cups so much, I'm going to have to ask her to bring me a CASE of baking chocolate.

Why can't I find sensible ingredients here? I'll keep looking, but it's so annoying to hear about a great recipe to only discover you can't get one or all of the ingredients.

Vent... Vent.. Vent...

I really love living here, but sometimes I get ticked off (you can tell I'm having issues with chocolate withdrawal again!!).

I don't know the situation in UK but most countries have a few stores that cater to immigrants. My sis just moved to Korea but she has found a couple chain stores that carry food products familiar to her.

I am thinking of the English yeast thing that gets spread on toast: it used to be very hard to get here but there were always stores in NYC, gourmet grocery stores, that carried it. I can't believe a city like London does not have a few gourmet stores with lots of foreign products.

Of course, the unsweetened chocolate your mother buys will undoubtedly be cheaper. Thank goodness for moms, eh?

Fern2340, you are a saviour! I made the cups last night. They are absolutely amazing I will definitely make some more. I didn't share with anyone either

Thanks again from a very grateful LCer

I am so glad everyone likes this recipe! I cant take credit for creating it. I dont even remember where I found it but I do love these! I made them on Monday for the first time in a while. I have been limiting myself to one a day or else I would eat all of them in one sitting!!!!!

Glad to find so many other chocolate and peanut butter fans!!

WOW! These are great! I think next time, I'll add chopped peanuts, just for something crunchy. I accidentally left my butter out on the counter all night last night, so a good excuse to use it up will be to make a whole stash of these PB Cups! Wouldn't want to waste it.

(I honestly don't know how long butter can be left out of the fridge. It's probably perfectly safe, but don't ruin my illusion of having a really good reason to make a ton of PB Cups. )
