Peanut butter cups may just be one of my favorite treats of all time. That is, until deciding to add a bit of October spirit and fall flavors to make Halloween-worthy raw chocolate PUMPKIN peanut butter cups. These are 100% delicious, 100% raw, and what’s even better? They are good for you!

Pumpkin is an immune boosting food, packed with good fiber, potassium, vitamin A and vitamin E. Adding a bit to your peanut butter cups ups the nutritional value, packs a seasonal burst of flavor and adds a festive orange color! Enjoy!

Ingredients

1/2 cup cacao powder (raw)
3 Tbps raw honey (or sweetener of choice)
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 Tbps pumkin puree
2 Tbps peanut butter (can substitute for other nut butter like almond — yum)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
coconut flakes (unsweetened, optional)
8 liners cupcake

Combine cacao powder, raw honey and coconut oil in a bowl. Stir thoroughly together to get a smooth creamy mixture.
Fill the cupcake liners with just enough chocolate to cover the bottom. This will make roughly 8-10 if you are using full size cupcake liners, 16-24 mini-cupcake liners.
Reserve the rest of the chocolate and place the cupcake liners in the freezer for 8-10 minutes.
Combine pumpkin puree, peanut butter and cinnamon in a second bowl to form a thick paste.
Remove liners from freezer and top each with a spoonful of pumpkin-peanut butter paste.
Using the rest of the chocolate, fill each cupcake liner to cover the filling.
Top each with a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut flakes (optional) and freeze until solid to have a raw Halloween Reese’s thats better than the real thing!
