INGREDIENTS:

1 cup chocolate chips of your choice (I used SunSpire Grain Sweetened Chocolate Chips)
1/4 cup organic no salt added creamy peanut butter (I used 365 Everyday Organic Creamy Peanut Butter from Whole Foods)
3 Medjool dates, pitted
1 candy mold of your choice (you can purchase these at Michael’s craft stores, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Jo-Ann Fabrics or your local hobby store)

PREP:

In a small saucepan on very low heat, melt the chocolate chips.

Using a clean/unused paint brush, paint the melted chocolate into the candy molds.

Put the molds into the freezer for 10 minutes.

While the chocolate is hardening, add the peanut butter and dates to a food processor or powerful blender and process until throughly blended. Set aside.

Remove the candy mold from the freezer and fill the hardened chocolate molds with the peanut butter mixture. (It’s easiest to use your fingers to gently press the peanut butter mixture into the chocolate shells)

Using the remaining melted chocolate, paint over the top to cover the peanut butter mixture.

Place the mold back into the freezer for 10 minutes or until completely hardened.

Remove from the freezer and carefully “pop” candy out of molds. They should easily pop out, if not place back in the freezer for another 5 minutes.

NUTRITIONAL INFO:
Makes 10-12 candies (depends on the mold you select).

Serving size 1 candy.

    Look, they come in wrappers to protect them from dirt. Seems clean enough for me.

    Huh? Did you not read the ingredients list?? Maybe the chocolate chips are but I'm not sure how medjool dates are processed? And peanut butter is just crushed up peanuts... Perhaps YOU could elaborate.

    REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups
    Ingredients
    MILK CHOCOLATE (SUGAR; COCOA BUTTER; CHOCOLATE; NONFAT MILK; MILK FAT; LACTOSE; SOY LECITHIN; PGPR, EMULSIFIER); PEANUTS; SUGAR; DEXTROSE; SALT; TBHQ (PRESERVATIVE)

    I prefer not to eat gmo soy lecithin, or an emulsifier so that the peanut butter cup can now sit on a shelf for months before I eat it AND a chemical preservative that is a form of butane.

    I love to make my own desserts so this looks awesome!

    They are, and you just proved that these are not "clean"

    So one ingredients is not "clean." OH NO!!!!!! I GUESS WE SHOULD ALL BERATE THE OP NOW!!!

    Use pure chocolate if you want. It's not hard. These are still less processed than Reese Peanut Butter cups.
