Yes!! I’ve been doing that “peanut butter cup” for a long time. Tip – use a little less peanut butter so youhave more of the chocolate taste coming through! 🙂 While not Keto, that combo is also yummy on apples with cinnamon sprinkled on top…then dip in pb and put on some choc chips! 😉
Best pb we use:
1. Santa Cruz Organic – crunchy dark roasted – no sugar but adds a bit of salt. Super good!
2. Costco’s Organic pb (Kirkland) – made with Valencia peanuts so not need to worry about mold issues in the storage of peanuts before it is processed and they only grow in hot dry climate; No sugar; added sea salt.
I prefer the taste of #1 better on it’s own. I use #2 in smoothies with unsweetened almond milk, raw organic cacao. stevia/pure monkfruit (no added erythritol) , Collagen powder and green power (which you cannot taste) 🙂 Yummy and nutritious!!
There you have it! 🙂
Enjoy!! 🙂
Thank you so much for your tips and for sharing your favorite peanut butters!🤗 It seems this feedback may have been meant for different posts? We sure appreciate hearing from you, Shirley! 🩷❤️Thanks again!
