Gluten & Dairy Free
 Peanut Butter Bars and Cups!!!

Picture
I totally miss being able to eat a Reeses peanut butter cup. They have always been one of my favorite fall treats. Fortunately, I was able to come across this recipe a while ago.  It was really easy to make this recipe completely gluten and dairy free! Many of the other recipes involve graham cracker crumbs, butter or milk chocolate.  I think I may try to make these with almond butter one day and I will be sure to let you know how they turn out. 

These are great at parties and will make a perfect candy for fall and Halloween. The instructions from the original recipe are for peanut butter bars, but I also have made these into cups! Read below for instructions on how to do both! I also have a link below for easier printing.

Gluten & Dairy Free Peanut Butter Cups/ Bars
 Adapted from allrecipes.com: Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars II

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 Earth Balance Buttery Spread

  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (Make sure it is gluten free)

  • 1 cup peanut butter (Make sure it is gluten free)

  • 1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar

  • 1 cup Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate chips

Procedure:

  1. Melt butter or margarine over low heat. Add sugars, peanut butter and vanilla. Mix well.

  2. For Bars, press into a 7x 10 inch pan.

  3. Melt chocolate chips and spread over the top. Cool.
  4. Cut the bars once they have set completely.

    For Cups:

  1. Place 24 mini-muffin cups in a mini muffin tray. This helps your cups maintain their shape. I also suggest that you use candy cups or sturdier muffin cups. Really thin cups do not hold up as well.

  2. Take a teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture and roll it into a ball. Do not use more, because there will not be room for the chocolate.

  3. Press the ball into the peanut butter cup.

  4. Using a spoon or a squeeze bottle, place enough chocolate in each cup until the peanut butter mixture is covered.

    * You may also choose to swirl melted chocolate in the cups prior to adding the peanut butter ball. This makes your cups more like “Reeses.” To do this, melt chocolate and pour a about a half of a teaspoon into the cups. Swirl chocolate around until the entire inside of the cup is coated. Refrigerate until set. Then follow the directions above.

In order to get little square shaped bites, I set the bars in my bite sized brownie pan.  

* I cut this recipe in half because 48 of these things is very dangerous!!!! However, if you are in need of a larger amount, double the recipe and it will be fine.

As always, have a wonderful gluten and dairy free day!!!!!
