Homemade Paleo Reese’s Cups

One of my favorite holidays is just around the corner! HALLOWEEN! I love dressing up and enjoying Halloween festivities, but that’s no reason to splurge on Halloween candy. At this time of the year, it’s fun to try new recipes with your family. What better way to celebrate than trying these Homemade Paleo Reese’s Cups!

These Homemade Paleo Reese's Cups are great for the holidays!

As a kid, my sister and I would fight over the Reese’s from our Halloween stashes. I knew too much sugar made me feel terrible, but every year I’d still eat soo much candy! And then feel soo sick. So now instead of eating those Reese’s made of fake ingredients, I made some with real ingredients!

These Homemade Paleo Reese’s Cups are made with dark chocolate and almond butter. Any nut butter will do (find my recipe here), and the darker the chocolate the better! I like to look for chocolate with the least amount of sugar. Besides, sugar masks the bold, delicious flavor of chocolate!

These Homemade Paleo Reese's Cups are great for the holidays!

 

My favorite part of this recipe is that I can now enjoy a candy or two without guilt. Instead of making your child or yourself fake food this Halloween, take the extra 20 minutes to make some homemade “candy”!

How to Study for Step 1

I must have googled “How to study for Step 1” hundreds of times during my second year of medical school. The test was daunting to me, and all I wanted was to do well enough to have a chance at a competitive specialty, like Dermatology. My goal was to get above a 250 on Step…

    Now we’re talking! You know how passionate I am about my sugar, but I’m definitely going to try out all of your dessert recipes out and see if I can stand something a bit healthier. 😉

    I am generally not a big fan of dark chocolate, it’s a little bitter for my taste. However, I made these today and they are the perfect combination of flavors and I didn’t have to feel guilty about having one! Also, they were so quick and easy. Thank you so much for sharing all of your wonderful recipes, they are making the transition to paleo an easy one!

    oh my goodness!!!!!!!! sounds like a perfect solution and healthy to boot. Question on the dark chocolate: I have been on a hunt for a good quality one, but they all have soy in them. Any brands you use that do not? and what percentage dark do you recommend? I cannot wait to make these. Can you make a batch and leave in the freezer? (I take them out, and they will be GONE!!!)

    Thank you

      Hey Catriaa! I use Lindt, which is available at a lot of places, or a few other brands that I find at whole foods! And yes you can freeze it haha.
