Superseed Peanut Butter Cups Recipe

Superseed Peanut Butter Cups Recipe
Cassie Johnston•

Blogger-turned-cookbook author Cassie Johnston knows a thing or two about making healthy food choices without compromising flavor. Her trick: cooking uncomplicated, delicious food with emphasis on pumped-up nutrition. Her latest book stars the mighty trio of chia, quinoa and kale along with their superfood friends. Good thing that doesn't rule out peanut butter cups. We love those things. 

Healthy peanut butter cups? Yup! Not only do they exist, but you can make them at home in about 15 minutes. For the peanut butter filling, I like to mix in a combo of raw superseeds—not only do they up the nutritional profile of these candies by a ton, but they also add a really satisfying crunch!
