My daughter and I made some really easy, really yummy treats today. We could have put them into muffin tins, so they would be like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. We didn't though, so the instructions will be for candies that are more like wafers.
Sugar-free, Gluten-free Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy (Like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups)
Line a small baking sheet or similar with parchment paper. Have ready for when the chocolate is melted.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, melt
1 cup Hershey's sugar-free chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper in a rectangle. Using the back of a spoon, smooth it until it is even and level, about 1/4" thick. Place into a freezer for about 10 minutes, until it is solid.
After the time is up, in another small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, melt
1 cup natural peanut butter (nothing added)
2 tablespoons butter
12 packets stevia based sweetener (Truvia-type)
Remove the frozen chocolate from the freezer, and spread the melted peanut butter over the top. Smooth it as with the chocolate layer before. Place it back into the freezer for about 20 minutes, until it is solid.
Once the chocolate and peanut butter are solid, in the first saucepan that had the chocolate, over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, melt
1 cup Hershey's sugar free chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
Remove the frozen chocolate and peanut butter from the freezer, and spread the melted chocolate on top. Smooth it as before. Place it back into the freezer for at least 1/2 hour, or until the chocolate on top is frozen.
Once the candy is frozen solidly, remove it from the freezer. Using a knife dipped into hot water, cut it into pieces. They will break randomly, but it will yield about 24 pieces of candy. Store covered in the refrigerator.
Yummy!
Blessings,
