Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

We love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! We don't eat them often because I'm anti-all the garbage additives. So, I thought I'd give this refined sugar-free recipe a try (unlike usual, I followed the original without any alterations). While they aren't Reese's, per se, they are sweet, peanutty and chocolatey, all good things! :) With coconut oil in the ingredient list, these definitely have coconut undertones, if that's not your thing, you could try butter and see how that works. If you want a thicker layer of chocolate (I think I might), just double the ingredients for the chocolate layer. I hope you enjoy!
