This is the first recipe you have to try! If you think that vegan recipes can’t be amazing, this will prove you wrong. They are insane! Before I went veggie, I was a major Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup addict. I was so sad when I thought I would have to give them up forever. Regular Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are obviously not great for you, but these veg ones aren’t nearly as bad. If you are looking to lose weight, or you are a superhero, don’t have these every day….but having them every once in awhile will make you soooo happy. Not concerned about weight?! Enjoy these a few days a week. If you are a flirt or a full-on vegan, go nuts! Let them replace your naughty desserts. Bottom line is, make them….try them. I dare you not to love them!
