HEALTHY Peanut Butter Cups!
Stuff we are all nerding out on, and not apologizing for it!
Deep Thoughts!

Healthy Peanut Butter Cups (courtesy of Abel James) Wild Peanut Butter Cups Prep time 15 mins Cook time 5 mins Total time 20 mins These homemade Wild Peanut Butter Cups are incredibly easy to make, and far tastier than anything you'll find in a package. Feel free to substitute peanut butter with almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or other nut/seed butters to change up the flavors. Author: Abel James Serves: 12 Ingredients

9-ounces dark chocolate chips (or milk or white chocolate) TRB's notes: the higher quality the chocolate, the better it will taste!
1 teaspoon coconut oil (or grass-fed butter)
1 cup peanut butter, no sugar added (or almond butter or other nut/seed butter) TRB's notes: Again, the better quality the peanut butter, the better! :)
2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
dash of stevia, to taste (TRB does NOT use this, but feel free if you want. They're plenty sweet with the chocolate)
dash of sea salt
12 paper muffin cups (cut down to about 1” high)
Optional toppings: Nuts, berries, sea salt, coconut flakes

Instructions

Cut 12 paper muffin cups down to about 1” high, and place in a muffin tin. Set aside.
In a small pot or double-boiler set over lowest heat, melt the chocolate with the coconut oil, stirring regularly, until just completely melted. Set aside to slightly cool.
In a mixing bowl, stir together peanut butter with coconut palm sugar, stevia, and sea salt. Taste and add a dash more coconut palm sugar, stevia and/or salt, to taste.
Form the peanut butter dough into 12 small patties.
Pour about a teaspoon of chocolate mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup.
Place one peanut butter patty onto each dollop of chocolate.
Cover each patty with remaining chocolate.
If adding toppings, go ahead and lightly press them into the tops of the peanut butter cups.
Freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate one hour to set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and enjoy straight from the fridge.

Notes Alternately, you can use a mini muffin tin to make “bite-sized” candies for a small taste of something delicious and sweet. The recipe should make about 24 minis. Links

184: It’s Sci Fi November! | With Captain Influence Nov 01, 2019

Show notes

Happy Sci Fi November! We are the Seinfeld of podcasts! You never know what you’re gonna get on this show. Why? Because we love a variety of topics and we are curious about a lot of things! We do have a number of things we are nerding out on and a question or 2 that will be some fun conversation!

AND, I'm curious about stem cell therapy. But not the controversial or unethical kind. A new kind that supposedly stimulates our body to grow our own, new stem cells. I am very curious about this. I want to know if this is legit. If you have ANY interest and/or knowledge on this topic, let's chat! Contact me!!
