I remember when I was first introduced to ‘Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups’. I was modelling in Miami and they had a jar of Reese Mini’s on the table in the agency (chocolate in a modelling agency – go figure?!). The girls warned me that if I dared to open the packet, I could never go back. I took the risk and it was there I fell in love with the chocolate peanut butter combo.
That was a long time ago (during my sugar fuelled days) and now, because I don’t even touch the processed chocolate in the shiny wrappers, I decided I needed a healthy peanut butter cups alternative and here we are!
These chocolates are super easy to make, are incredibly good for you and once

Ingredients
- 1 block of dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup natural organic peanut butter
- 1 heart-shaped ice-cube tray ((I got mine from Ikea))
Instructions
- Temper the dark chocolate over low heat until melted.
- Fill your ice-cube cups with a teaspoon full of melted chocolate, then use a small spoon or pastry brush to paint the chocolate up the sides of the cup to the top.
- Once all of the cups have been lined with chocolate, place them in the freezer for around 5 minutes, or until they have hardened.
- Remove from the freezer and place 1/2 teaspoon of natural peanut (I like to add a little celtic sea salt here) or sun-butter into the centre of each chocolate. Top each chocolate with 1 tablespoon of chocolate mixture and leave to set in the fridge or freezer for approximately 30 minutes.
- Instead of tempering a store-bought chocolate, you can make your own.
Notes
The most easiest way to make these is using your favourite variety of quality dark chocolate. I personally love brands like AlterEco, Loving Earth and Pana Chocolate. For this recipe, always pick a plain variety.
