The best of both worlds, cookies and peanut butter cups!
Ahhh, peanut butter cups, everyone loves that famous candy! I remember being a kid and going through my Halloween candy picking out all the Reeces first. I can still here my mom, “Only one piece!” as if that was really going to happen! I still love them and now that I’m keto I find myself occasionally buying a commercial brand to satisfy my cravings. They’re pretty tasty but usually have some nasty ingredient in them that will definitely cause some unpleasant side effects. My second favorite snack in my pre keto days were cookies, any cookie dunked in a glass of cold milk. Being keto doesn’t mean you still can’t enjoy these favorite treats anymore, you can still enjoy them (in moderation course)!
Cookie crust filled with sweet peanut butter and topped with a chocolate shell….
So, I love the company Perfect Keto, it is a company that makes all kinds of yummy products. I also like them because I never have to question the ingredients they use, they are always so clean and top quality! I recently got a box of their newest keto bars, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip ( which by the way are on sale until October 9th!) and let me tell you, they are delicious all on their own! My whole family gave them a thumbs up which is unusual because someone is always like, “I don’t like it”! Anyhow, we all liked them but my first thought was how awesome they would be as a crust for a pie or cookie! I told my family to back off my stash because these bars were meant for bigger and better things, lol!
So rich and creamy!

I share links for as many of the ingredients as I can as I am always being asked about them. Feel free to use your favorite brands!
I encourage everyone to calculate macros for themselves. You will be learning how many carbs there are in individual foods and as people use various brands and ingredients it will be more accurate. Happy Keto!
Perfect Keto Bars make the perfect base!
