  1. These are amazing! They definitely cake care of my chocolate fix! I mixed up the recipe after a couple of months. Now, instead of nuts in the bottom of the cupcake liners, I just use crunchy peanut butter. Also, it helps to melt the peanut butter for about 30 seconds in the microwave before adding to the chocolate/butter/Splenda mix.
     
  2. I'm giving it 5 stars because I think it satisfied my craving for Reese's esp. since this is for low carbers. I didn't change anything and it worked out to about 2 tbl per cup. Just gotta stop from eating all of them, Thanks for the recipe!
     
  3. A nice little treat for low carbers! I actually made these using a substitution for the baking chocolate. According to my favourite cookbook, you can substitute a square of baking chocolate with 3 Tbsp cocoa powder mixed with 1 Tbsp canola oil. So I did that and they turned out lovely. I also made these in a mini muffin pan using those little paper liners and I got 24 mini chocolate cups out of it. Thanks so much for this recipe Mercy, it is going in the favourites book!
     
  4. I used 1/4 cup butter and 1 tbsp honey with no splenda, my husband loved it as he is on low carb and eats no sugar. I thought it was bitter.
     
  5. Very good !! I followed the recipe exactly

  3. EXCELLENT! Was out of peanut butter so I made these with hazelnut butter and ground hazelnuts instead...wonderful, tasted just like Nutella or gianduia candy. I plan to make these again soon with peanut butter and maybe almond butter too. Can't wait, in fact. My boyfriend loved these too and he's not on a low-carb diet. Thanks for posting this
