Action 90 is in another 3 month conditioning camp, with a set of whole new recruits, SWEET! These guys and gals will need some serious good food for energy, and also a little reward meal from time to time.
That said here is a greatly improved version of my favorite reward meal Reese Peanut Butter cups. These cups do not have the crap artificial colours, additives, preservatives and refined sugar that most
of your favorite candy bars are made with (insert sad face here).
Cation: These cups are high in calories and fat; a healthy fat, but lots of it, so watch the intake.
Please remember the term Reward treat/meal....you must earn this goodie; which means you should have worked your butt off that week in the gym and stuck to your meal plans to deserve this tasty reward treat.
TIP: this is a better treat option for your kids to eat as well.Please remember the term Reward treat/meal....you must earn this goodie; which means you should have worked your butt off that week in the gym and stuck to your meal plans to deserve this tasty reward treat.
Ingredients:
1 16oz. jar natural organic peanut butter (peanuts the only ingredient)
2 eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1 cup honey
1 Dark organic Chocolate bar
Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine nut butter, eggs, baking soda and honey in a large bowl and mix with an electric hand mixer until blended.
2.Bake in a non-greased muffin pan for around 15-20 minutes. Fill to the same height of a Reese's Cup size, or the width of your index finger (do not use Andre the Giants fingers!). They should look a golden brown color when done.
3. Take muffin pan out of the oven. While pan is still warm break off some dark chocolate chunks and place them on top of cups to melt. After they melt let them cool and place into the fridge.
4.Pop out the cups and enjoy!
TIP: try out other nut butters as well, like: walnut, cashew, almond or use a combo

Looks delicious!
I'm a little confused how you get the dark chocolate to surround the peanut butter mix though ... do you put pieces of dark chocolate into the muffin pan then put the mix on top before baking?
Thanks!
