Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup honey or 1/3 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt together the peanut butter, cocoa powder, milk, and honey or maple syrup.
- Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
- Line a small square baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
- Place the dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Once firm, remove from the refrigerator and cut into small squares.
Notes
- Using maple syrup instead of honey slightly increases sugar and reduces protein.
- Use natural peanut butter (no added sugar or oil) to lower total sugar by ~1 g per piece.
- For a richer texture, replace milk with evaporated milk.
- Keep well in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
