Smooth and sweet peanut butter truffles coated with rich, melted chocolate offers a healthier way to satisfy your sweet tooth. They’re free of gluten, wheat, refined sugar, and dairy. The notes section also provides vegan and protein powder free options.
Reese’s cups. They call my name…all the time. They’re my favorite, even though I rarely have them. If I were given a choice of candy to splurge on, Reese’s usually wins despite me knowing all the shit that they are made of.
Ya know what, though? These truffles right here are solidly comparable to the famous Reese’s peanut butter cups. Except this version is made of waaaaay better ingredients. I’ll take these all day everyday.
