Protein Peanut Butter Cups
We enjoy making desserts and this Protein Peanut Butter dessert recipe is one of our favorites! They are easy to make and the kids love making their own. Sometimes they add sprinkles in them and once my son decided to add grape jelly in his and I have to admit it tasted amazing. Thinking of testing that idea out soon with maybe strawberry jelly. This creamy and high protein dessert is the perfect treat to have without any guilt.
Are peanut butter cups healthy?
Making your own peanut butter cups will certainly be healthier than the store-bought candy version like Reese’s brand. There might be some healthier store-bought versions out now made with dark chocolate and no added sugar for the peanut butter. Making your own at home will allow you to use healthier ingredients and add a bit of whey protein for an extra protein boost.
