SOURCE: http://thenakedkitchen.com
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.
Nutrients per serving: Calories: 99.5, Cal. from Fat: 46.5, Total Fat: 5g, Sat. Fat: 2g, Carbs: 11.5g, Fiber: 1.5g, Sugars: 6.5g, Protein: 1.5g, Sodium: 0mg, Chol: 0mg
By almost every definition these are considered clean. With the exception of the MFP anti-clean dorks that run around posting images of processed chocolate on any thread that mentions clean eating and becoming indignant over the mere mention of...GASP...avoiding chemicals in food. It's the same people too! I swear they have a 6th sense! Someone said CLEAN! Let's go attack them and post annoying pictures.
I'm going to make these for myself and my kiddos. Thanks for the recipe!
Can you elaborate what makes this clean when it's chock full of processed ingredients?0 -

Only the severely ignorant would try to eat a chemical free diet.
66% of the ingredients are processed btw0 -
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!
I sure hope you don't eat fruit, for instance apples contain formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide and acetaldehyde. Yes, even organic ones. oh noes!0 -

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.
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.
processed =/= death
Clearly.0 -
If you want it to be clean make your own chocolate with coconut oil, honey and coco powder.0

If I'm gonna do fake pb cups I'd rather do these:
Protein PB cups, yum. They're not bad either, a little dry and less sweet (1g of sugar is all).0 -
Looks pretty good but I still think I would prefer the real thing
1 Reese's cup
105 calories
7.5 g. Fat
12 g. Carbs
10.5 g. Sugar
2.5 g. Protein
^^ Agreed and a lot less trouble and guaranteed YUMMY0 -
Didn't read all the responses, but you can't call them Reeses if they are in fact, not Reeses. They may taste like that and you can say that, but surely they are not Reeses.0

I use dark chocolate and PB2 for my peanut butter cups. Cuts down on the fat and calories, but also tastes way delicious.0

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

REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups

MILK CHOCOLATE (SUGAR; COCOA BUTTER; CHOCOLATE; NONFAT MILK; MILK FAT; LACTOSE; SOY LECITHIN; PGPR, EMULSIFIER); PEANUTS; SUGAR; DEXTROSE; SALT; TBHQ (PRESERVATIVE)

I sure hope you don't eat fruit, for instance apples contain formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide and acetaldehyde. Yes, even organic ones. oh noes!
Isn't there a poptart thread somewhere calling your name? And yous soooo smart! You're even smarter then the Mayo Clinic and John Hopkins! http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/organic-food/NU00255
Dang. I'm flustered around such genius. NOT.
Good thing that link didn't say anything to dispute my comment, so fantastic reading comprehension0 -

Dang. I'm flustered around such genius. NOT.
So, because the Mayo Clinic says that farmers use natural fertilizers, that somehow takes out the chemicals found naturally in apples?
Also, if organic food diminishes a persons ability for a mature conversation to that of a 12 yr old...I'm sticking with gmo.0 -
Exactly! Simple ingredients, tasty & simple to make.If you want it to be clean make your own chocolate with coconut oil, honey and coco powder.
Unless of course you need them immediately! Then you can pick up a pack of Justin's Dark Chocolate PB cups!

Are we not all on this site for basically the same reason? We should all be supporting one another! Some of the comments on here are really non-constructive and critical. She just wanted to share a personal recipe that has helped her on her weight loss journey. I think it was brave to put yourself out there with a personal recipe!0
