★ Tips & FAQs ★
Not exactly. They are a bit more gourmet. These are lightly sweetened using maple syrup and have a hint of coconut if you choose to use that vs. avocado oil. You can opt for avocado oil, if you're looking for a more of a neutral taste though and you could replace the maple syrup with sugar or honey if you want to adjust that flavor.
If you really want a Reese's style cup, let me know and I'll work on a recipe for that.
For us, we really loved the taste of these. Even though they have a dark chocolate flavor, the kids loved them and the Mr. gobbled them up!
So we've tried all of the different peanut-free products we have been able to get a hold of from almond butter to sun butter, even different brands of all the different nuts butters. And what we've discovered is, each of them are excellent substitutions for different recipes.
For this particular recipe for peanut butter cups we found Wow (soy) butter to be the best tasting choice, sfter trying a few types of butters. We particularly the crunchy Wow butter, but you could also use creamy if you prefer a smoother texture.
