Easy Homemade Vegan & Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cups using clean and minimal ingredients.

As many of you may be aware I have a MAJOR sweet tooth! I always have fun creating healthier twists on some of my favorite treats! One of my all time favorite treats is a class peanut butter cup! Seriously – is there anything yummier than a chocolate and peanut butter combo?!

This recipe is vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free. It’s also made with clean and minimal ingredients. There are only THREE ingredients used for this recipe: dark chocolate (this brand is free of dairy, soy and gluten), coconut oil and a lightly sweetened peanut butter. Alternatively, you can mix the peanut butter with a little coconut sugar to sweeten it. These are the molds I used to make these cute little mini chocolate peanut butter cups!

These peanut butter cups are SO simple to make! Emma really enjoys making these with me, so if you have a kid it’s a funny ‘mommy and me’ activity!
