Most people who know me know that the two things I love most in life (aside from my kids) are peanut butter cups and wine. Not together. But sometimes. Occasionally. Okay, a lot. Most times.
Sigh…go ahead and judge, I don’t mind.
But, there are times when I find myself cruising at mock speed on the sugar train and decide to cut added sugar for a bit to put the breaks on my sugar addiction and get back on track. That means I need to say “no!” to Reese peanut butter cups and “hi!” to these beauties.
Okay, okay…listen…I’ll be honest…they ain’t no Reese. No one, and I mean no one, can compare. However, when you’re not on sugar but you still love a sweet treat, these do the trick.
But listen up…you get ONE a day. ONE. O.N.E. Capiche?
One.
You need to keep these in your freezer, too. The fridge works too, but I like mine in the freezer.
Give ’em a whirl. You’re gonna love ’em.
