So these are a bit like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups/Eggs. I just made mine round shape. I adapted this recipe from one I found online. It's not exactly like a peanut butter cup but yummy, kid and husband approved, and rich. 1 8 oz package of 1/3 less fat Cream cheese 1/2 C butter 2 Tbsp coconut oil(Louanna brand so it didn't have the coconutty flavor) 1 C Peanut flour 1 tsp vanilla extract 10-12 shakes Nustevia Pure Extract Powder(out of tiny holes) Combine all ingredients with an electric mixer until smooth and mixed well. Then shape into round patties and place on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet and freeze for about 20 min. I made 20 patties. I could have made them a little thinner I think and gotten quite a few more. Make a recipe of skinny chocolate(from THM book). Dip patties with a toothpick to fully cover in chocolate. Then dip a second time. You may want to make a double batch of skinny chocolate as I ran out with about 4 left to be double dipped. Keep in the refrigerator. (I put them in the freezer and a couple hours later I thought we might break our teeth trying to take a bite plus the middle is tastier when creamy and smooth and not frozen). Blessings, Corey

If you didn't have peanut flour, is there a way to make these? I would love to make these for my dh for a Christmas treat!

Love the modifications you made. Peanut flour is such a delicious alternative to PB, all the flavor but less cals. Not afraid of cals but we don't need to overdo. I'm going to have to try these.

I hope you all get a chance to try them and enjoy! They are YUMMY!! And they worked out on the first try. I hate to waste ingredients so was very happy they were tasty.
Pearl, I knew about the calories but also just didn't want to have to buy more specialty ingredients as I don't have swerve. So was trying to figure out how to get a drier/creamy not wet texture without powdered type sugar and thought, DUH!, peanut flour and tada recipe created!

Those look delicious! Right now, I only have the "good" coconutty coconut oil, but next time I'm at Walmart, I'll get the Louanna brand to try these.
