LOW CARB PEANUT BUTTER CUP SQUARES

Steps:

• Butter a small square pan, the pan size depends on how thick you want them to be but it needs to be pretty small.
• Even in a very small pan, these still come out quite thin, if you prefer them thicker, just double all the ingredients.
• Mix the melted chocolate, splenda, butter, and 2 teaspoons peanut butter until smooth.
• Spread half of the mixture into the bottom of buttered pan.
• Put the pan into the freezer.
• While it's freezing, mix together the peanut butter, almond meal/flour, salt, and the 2 tablespoons splenda.
• After the chocolate hardens in the freezer, take it out and spread the peanut butter on top.
• Put the pan back into the freezer for about 3-4 minutes, until the peanut butter layer is semi-firm.
• Spread the remaining chocolate on top and put in the freezer until set.
• Cut into small squares and store in the refrigerator.
