Dreamy Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles

Forget the Reese’s peanut butter cups! Seriously. After seeing how easy it is to make these and tasting how delicious they are, you really can’t beat these truffles. The traditional peanut butter candy has 170 calories, 18g carbs, 16g sugar, and 10g fat! Yikes! These little gems have only 72 calories, 3g net carbs, 2.1g sugar, and 4.5 g fat. Plus, this recipe makes 22 of them – so many to share (or… save for later).
