Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. Peanut Butter (Any brand, but I prefer Skippy’s All Natural)
- 1 Square Unsweetened Baking Chocolate
- 1 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
- 3 Drops EZSweets or 1 Packet Splenda (Splenda is 1g carb per packet)
- 1 Small Plastic Cup
Instructions
- Grab a microwave safe container (preferably small – I used a plastic cup) and toss in the square of unsweetened chocolate inside.
- Add 1 Tbsp. of coconut oil and then add a heaped tablespoon of peanut butter. I used Peter Pan peanut butter because that’s all that was in the store. I prefer to use Skippy’s All Natural Creamy Peanut Butter.
- Add 3 drops of EZSweets, or if you want to you can use a packet of Splenda. If you use the Splenda, make sure you add one extra carb to the total.
- Nuke it in the microwave for 1 minute (long awaiting the glory).
- Finally done! Stir it up so it’s a nice liquid consistency.
- Pour the mixture out into small plastic cup.
- To the freezer! I make a lot of them ahead of time just in case I am running late – I will never be unprepared again. If you’re not a breakfast person, and prefer something on the lighter side, this will be absolutely perfect for you!
- And it’s showtime! Just plop it into the bottom of your cup and pour your coffee straight over the top.
