Happy Valentine's Day!

I wanted to send you one of my all time favorite Valentine treats - so delicious and easy to make too.

It's a great Valentine gift for a friend, significant other, coworkers, kids or to enjoy yourself! Both kids and adults love them. 🙂

They are free of refined sugar so they won't cause inflammation or accelerated aging that occur if you eat chocolate treats made with refined sugars.  Love that!!

5-Minute, One-Pot Mini Peanut Butter Cups

These minis combine nut butter with chocolate for a quick stir-and-set treat. 🙂

I used my heart shape candy molds - but you can use any type of silicone candy molds, silicone muffins cups, or paper mini muffin liners in a mini muffin pan.
