These Peanutbutter Derby Hats are a fantastic alternative to Peanutbutter Cups. Low carb, sugar free, dairy free, gluten free, and vegan, these fun treats can be enjoyed by nearly everyone and are so easy to make.
Some quick tips for the best results. Mix your dry ingredients thoroughly. A fork or a whisk work well, and the little bits of powdered sweetener dissolve nicely in the hot oil.
If you don’t have a double boiler available, then you can use a heat safe bowl over a small saucepan with water. Alternatively, the oil can be heated directly in a saucepan or the microwave, but if you need to keep your finished mixture warm after you’ve combined your dry ingredients and oil, then you want to have the double boiler set up.
Be sure to thoroughly mix the dry ingredients into the hot oil. There should be no clumps or powder remaining.
Silicone molds are fantastic for making these Peanutbutter Bites or Bars. Chocolate-Bar molds are readily available, and there are an abundance of other fun shapes available too- we’ve found shapes for nearly every holiday!
Use wax paper to let after coating the Peanutbutter Bites in chocolate to keep them from sticking.
Use a small circular cookie cutter to remove the excess chocolate and make the derby hat shape!
