Can dessert be healthy! The answer is YES!
Here’s how and why!
Ok, let’s start with Peanut butter. A very healthy fat, especially if you use the kind that is low in added sugar. Peanut butter is a lot like bacon. When you love it, you love it! And I mean REALLY love it! That’s me by the way!
So, let the peanut butter lover inside you lose the guilt! Yes, if you are on WW (Weight Watchers) you may have to do a little soul searching because we are so accustomed to using the powdered version, like PB2 or PB Fit among others.
But we are going for dessert! a creamy, satisying indulgent dessert so you might have to leave a little WW point room for this!
We can make chewy peanut butter cookies to light and airy peanut butter mousse. We can make creamy Peanut Butters bars (like these!) or Reeses Peanut Butter cup copycats. There are Peanut Butter options options for everyone! Sugar free, low carb, low fat, high protein, high fiber, gluten free, dairy free, vegan, powdered — whatever diet you are on, this can and will work!
Watch it being made by video!
What can I add to the base recipe for more options?
Once you have the basics of this recipe down, add Lilys Unsweetened chocolate chips
or Choc zero chips which are delightful in chocolate taste but keto or low carb friendly along with being a WW favorite!
You can add oatmeal and raisins if you prefer or even a dollop of orange marmalade! Sometimes I melt a little chocolate over a double boiler and dip them in balls into some dark and decadent bitter chocolate. Truly a sophisticated Peanut Butter bite!

Did you forget the eggs?
I did! Thanks you — just fixed it!
I do not see the link for scales to measure in grams or the grill from Amazon. Very interested in both.
On the website here there is a link at the top that says My kitchen items shop. Everything is there. Here is the link for you but you can reference back there as well! Thanks! https://www.amazon.com/shop/barrettpastor?listId=GOWRINZCAY5T
