Hungry Girl Peanut Butter Cups Recipe/Review

So in my second forray into the actual using of a hungry girl recipe, I decided to make the peanut butter cups! (Previously have attempted to make the cheesecake bites).

There is the official recipe!

Well, my pb cups didn't look nearly as neat as theirs. I think I should have used a mini muffin tin with mini muffin liners. I barely had enough to get 11 cups with 1/3 of the way full. I also couldn't find the sugar free syrup so I just used the lite Hershey's syrup. I also couldn't get the syrup to spread the way they did (aka it looked like peanut butter ice cream with a dot of chocolate on top). It definitely satisfies the chocolate & PB craving, so no complaints there! it has more of the consistancy of ice cream than a Reese's cup though. I can't see me making these all the time, maybe just once a month around Aunt Flo time. I can have a few cups to satisfy cravings without making a huge dent in my calories/fat which is nice!

I'll follow up with a picture soon (once I get my camera back from the bf).
