Yummy Low-Carb Peanut Butter Cups
My recipe for keto peanut butter cups has been one of my top recipes since I originally published it in 2012. Over the years I’ve made slight changes to it, to make it more peanut-buttery, the right sweetness, etc. but the basic recipe has stayed the same. I used Splenda Naturals (a stevia/erythritol blend) because I think it tastes best and I always have it around because I find it to be the best sweetener for just about everything.
However, if you’re making these keto peanut butter cups and don’t have it, you probably have erythritol or stevia, and you could use a tablespoon and a few drops of Stevia to start, then build up to your desired sweetness. It’s very customizable to your tastes, some might like a darker chocolate taste, and if you want it more like milk chocolate, just add more sweetener and even a little more heavy cream. Just taste with your spoon and go from there — you’re now a keto peanut butter cups expert!
Also — they’re just 1 net carb each!

What’s a Wicked Good Member?
Here’s the thing, being a published cookbook author is a grind. Most publishers want to pay you a per recipe rate that’s equal to or less than the cost of ingredients required to make the food itself, and as soon as you’re due for a good royalty check, they stop promoting your book so you never meet the threshold. So, I decided to start publishing my own cookbooks and working directly with you all to make recipes you’re looking for. Sure it’s cool to see my stuff on the shelves at Barnes & Noble, but I think this new membership is a lot cooler.
What you get:
No Promos: As a VIP member, you won’t get promo emails. Woo! You might see some text ads in my email newsletter like this one because it goes to everyone, but that’s it.
Special Requests: As you know, my vibe is more whole-food focused, and lately I’ve been trying to get creative with egg and dairy-free, so nothing is off the table. When you become a Wicked Good VIP Member, you can request recipes at any time, and I will do my best to create them for you, and likely use them in a future cookbook.
Cookbooks: The biggest benefit is, of course, access to the cookbooks I have published up until this point, and in the future, as long as you’re a member. I am releasing new cookbooks quarterly. Currently, there are 5 cookbooks available to you as a VIP member, and you get a new cookbook every quarter (plus discounts on the print editions when they release).

The recipes I’ve been producing for these cookbooks are my favorites of all time, and I also come to the table with the perspective of being a full-time working mom, so I totally get the time crunch that we all find ourselves in, and I work to make recipes that can work for everyone to follow a keto lifestyle in the most delicious way possible.
I’d love for you to join my inner circle and become a Wicked Good VIP Member so I can spend more time in the kitchen cooking for you, and less time writing these promotions. I work with a lovely book designer who makes all my stuff pretty, so your membership fees basically go right to her :)
I love you, thank you for being here!
