Healthier Peanut Butter Cups

I don't like hiding things in food and I don't like secrets but when you have children who struggle to take supplements and you really need to improve their health - you do what you got to do! You can make these without the supplements as well! These are DELICIOUS and both my kids love them AND getting supplements down with no tears?!? This is a huge WIN folks!! Gluten free, dairy free, egg free, soy free, grain free, easily peanut free.

Tucker's favourite treat is peanut butter cups and it really hit me. After we saw our Naturopathic doctor, I decided we really need to brainstorm and think of creative ways to get supplements into the kids. You could easily make this nut free by using sunbutter! I haven't tried adding any other supplements into this asides from Genestra HMF Powder and Vitamin D drops but I am going to bet you could add other supplements in here. Next I will explore and try a Dairy Free Avocado Fudgsicle too. Stay tuned for a recipe on that!

So the recipe is a bit time consuming but honestly, so worth it for us! Finally able to get supplements into my kiddos with no negative emotions around it. Yay to healing!

Secret Supplement Peanut Butter Cup Recipe:

Ingredients:

Chocolate:

1 Cup Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate or Semi-Sweet Chocolate

1/4 Cup Organic, Unrefined Coconut Oil

Melt this slowly on stove. Set aside.

Peanut Butter Mixture:

1/2 Cup Organic Natural Peanut Butter OR Unsweetened Sunbutter for Nut free

1/4 Cup Raw Local Unpasteurized Honey

1-2 Tbsp Organic Unrefined Flaxseed Oil

Mix well in a bowl. Set aside.

I used silicone muffin tins and covered the bottoms in chocolate mixture. Throw them in the freezer. For the PB mixture, measure 1 tbsp and place it in a small separate bowl. I use a small silicon spatula to mix in the supplements. Skip this step if you want just ordinary PB cups.

In the 1 tbsp, add in your supplements:

1 Drop Vitamin D3 - I used 400 IU

1/2-1 Dose Genestra HMF Probiotic Powder

These are all I have tried so far - feel free to try others! Let me know how you make out with them.

Take the bottom layers of chocolate out of the freezer and start adding your tablespoons of PB mixture with supplements mixed in and place them in each silicon cup on top of the chocolate. Put a layer of chocolate on top. Like so:

Throw them in the freezer. Once set - remove them from the silicon cups and keep in the fridge until consumption. This makes 11 large cups.

Enjoy
