Ingredients:

• 1 cup peanut butter powder

• 2/3 cup water

• 1/2 cup almond flour

• Chocolate chips (for dipping)

• Coconut oil (for melting the chocolate)

Instructions:

1. Make the Peanut Butter Pumpkin Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter powder and water until smooth. Stir in the almond flour to create a dough-like consistency. This will serve as the base of your Reese's cups.

2. Shape the Filling

Roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls or flatten into disk shapes, depending on your desired size. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop them in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to firm up.

3. Prepare the Chocolate Coating

While the filling is firming up, melt your chocolate chips with a tablespoon of coconut oil in the microwave or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth and glossy.

4. Dip the Pumpkin Reese’s

Once the peanut butter disks are firm, take them out of the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out, letting any excess chocolate drip off.

5. Freeze to Set

Place the dipped Reese’s back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the freezer for another 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.

6. Enjoy!

Once the chocolate has hardened, your Healthy Pumpkin Reese’s are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in the fridge or freezer for a quick, healthy snack.

Tips:

• If you want a sweeter filling, feel free to add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey to the peanut butter mixture.

• For extra pumpkin flavor, you can also add a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice to the filling.

Tip: These Healthy Pumpkin Reese’s are a fun, low-sugar treat but should still be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
