Pb2 Peanut Butter Chocolate Cups Vegan

Vegan Peanut Butter Cups

These are the most epic vegan peanut butter chocolate cups without a doubt. Seriously, this is actually my most favorite sweet treat, I am not kidding. They remind me a little of Reese’s cups, but I prefer my homemade vegan version. If you love peanut butter and chocolate you have to give this recipe a try, you certainly won’t regret it! Even my boyfriend loves this dessert, even though he is more the savory guy. The base is really very simple as it’s made with two ingredients only, peanuts and dates. However, you can use any other nuts of choice, for example, walnuts or hazelnuts.

No-Bake Recipe

You only need 6 ingredients in total to make these PB2 peanut butter cups and you won’t need to spend more than 20 minutes in the kitchen. The cups require no baking, but they need to go in the freezer overnight or for at least 2-3 hours to set. If you use cocoa butter, they will get a little firmer and will be easier to unmold (I use a cupcake silicone mold) but in my opinion, they taste slightly better with coconut oil. You can try both versions and let me know which one you prefer!

PB Powder Recipe

I started experimenting with PB powder recipes a couple of years ago. I really like how you can make your own low-fat peanut butter from a PB powder. You can use PB2 powder to make these peanut butter cups or try out a different brand like PBfit. I also tried this peanut flour brand. They are all quite similar and contain roasted partially defatted peanuts. PB2 and PBfit both contain a little sugar and salt. If your brand doesn’t contain salt, just make sure to add a pinch of it. There is no need to add any sugar since the maple syrup makes these PB cups sweet enough. You could actually also use regular peanut butter, however, then you will need to tweak the recipe a bit. If you do, then definitely leave out the water and maybe also reduce the amount of maple syrup.
