Royal Peanut Butter Cups
“There are three Royal Garden Parties held on the lawns of Buckingham Palace in London each year”…
“The Queen and other members of the Royal Family attend”…
“Invitations are not transferable”…..
”Due to a limited number of invitations available, the Royal Garden Party may only be attended once”
Now imagine my excitement when Elliot and I received this in the mail:
Overall it was a beautiful and memorable event. The Queen was the sweetest little host and her catering was worthy of its own Art Gallery. Not much Raw Food in sight, however I think I may have spotted a shaving of a cucumber poking out of the finger sandwiches and a strawberry under all the glaze. Nevertheless it all looked delightfully appetizing and perfectly minuscule.
I too wanted some Raw Food sweeties, that are delightfully appetizing and perfectly minuscule, and since I have been getting some enquiries for recipes, this is one that has come up already four times during last week alone from different people via Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn:
RAW FOOD REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS
I have never been a big fan of peanut butter myself and living in UK, we don’t even have Reese’s products to do a taste experiment. But I am pretty good at calculating a conversion of ‘not so good contents’ into healthy Raw Food ingredients and Google is pretty good at providing me with any product's ingredient list of these ‘not so good contents’.
All I can say is: “Where? Where have you been all my life? Peanut Butter Cups, you have stolen my heart!” Now it’s your turn:
(Makes 10 mini cups)
For the cups
10 mini chocolate cases
For the Chocolate
4 Tbsp Cacao Powder
2 Tbsp Cacao Butter, melted
2 Tbsp Coconut Butter/Oil, melted
2 Tbsp Agave
Pinch Salt
For the Peanut filling
2 Tbsp Raw Peanut Butter (make sure it is not ‘roasted’)
1 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Agave
-To melt my butters, I put them in a dehydrator for an hour on 105F, that way I know they will not reach the temperatures when they are no longer Raw and deprived of enzymes. You can do this in a double boiler too.
-Add the rest of the chocolate ingredients and stir in well.
Love this recipe? How about another 21 equally insane healthy indulgences?
If you haven't yet got your hands on 'Seduced- Raw Chocolate recipes to get very excited for', you are missing out big time! Mmmmm.
