I am one of the few people who actually love Reese’s peanut butter cups. I’m not a fan of peanut butter, but combine them with chocolate and I am all yours. This recipe differs from ordinary peanut butter cups in such a way that the inner peanut crust found in Reese’s is placed outside this cup while the rich chocolate will act as filling.

This recipe is from Taste of Home.

Ingredients: (makes about 6 large cups or 12 mini cups)

For peanut butter shells

4 tablespoons butter, softened

6 tablespoons brown sugar

2 1/2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy works best)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup flour

For filling

1 cup confectioners’ sugar

2 tablespoons milk (I used whole milk)

1 tablespoon peanut…

This is something all chocolate lovers will love. Apparently, some studies suggest that eating chocolates will be beneficial for those suffering from heart ailments as chocolates can cut the risk of attack.

But the Times newspaper junked this belief, and stressed the danger of believing in studies founded on tiny amounts of chocolate. It said that, “The greatest benefits were found in subjects who ate 7.5g a day — the equivalent of a small square. Their risk of heart attack and stroke was 39 percent lower than the group who ate 1.7g a day. Who eats one square of chocolate a day — and who eats just a quarter of a…

Vulcan contains 90 percent less calories than regular chocolate, but has a higher melting point of 131 degrees Fahrenheit compared with regular chocolate that has a melting point of 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Barry Callebaut is hoping worldwide chocolate markets will be receptive of this new low-calorie candy.
