Ingredients:
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1½ cups Jif Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1½ cups almond flour
- 2–4 tablespoons stevia (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Chocolate Coating
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (helps thin the chocolate)
How to:
A. Mix together:
- peanut butter
- almond flour
- stevia
until a soft dough forms. If the mixture is too sticky, add another tablespoon of almond flour.
B. Roll into equal portions or press into cupcake liners.
Freeze for 15–20 minutes. [I freeze mine for 2 hours because I did not use much almond flour and I'm okay with working on sticky dough 👀 it's up to your preference]
C. Melt the chocolate and cover each peanut butter cup
D. Freeze for another 20–30 minutes until set. Store in the refrigerator.

Recipe Notes 📣
- Traditional Reese's filling uses powdered sugar. Almond flour creates a creamy texture while adding healthy fats and protein.
- Cold peanut butter filling is much easier to coat in chocolate.
- Use cupcake liners: This helps create the classic peanut butter cup shape.
- Microwave in short intervals to prevent burning, or follow instructions on the label. I always buy chocolate melted - any brand
You may store this for 2 weeks in the refrigerator and freeze up to 3 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use natural peanut butter?
Yes. Stir well before measuring since natural peanut butter separates.
- Can I use coconut flour?
Not directly. Coconut flour absorbs much more moisture than almond flour, so you'll need significantly less.
- Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes. Use dairy-free chocolate chips. - Are homemade Reese's cups healthier?
Generally, yes. They contain less refined sugar, more healthy fats, and fewer preservatives than traditional peanut butter cups. - Can I freeze them?
Absolutely. They taste amazing straight from the freezer.
