White Chocolate Snacks

WhitechocolateSpidersOriginal

Classic white chocolate snacks inspired by the White Chocolate Spiders recipe from years ago!

It was basically melt white chocolate, add peanut butter, tip in crunchy noodles and that was it! I used to love them and then feel sick afterwards from all the crappy stuff in it.

Of course these days the only ingredient I still eat is the PB – which does not follow my Ray Peat style of eating, too high in Omega 6, has phytic acid which blocks mineral absorption and may or may not have a fungus that makes people highly allergic to it. Eeek!

Oh well, I don’t claim to be a clean eating saint. I do what works for my body in terms of the reaction it gives me after eating certain foods. And pleased to say PB gets the all clear for me. Whew! Thank goodness, as it is a taste I love. (2021 update: I now use PB2 peanut butter powder as it has most of the bad polyunsaturated fats taken out of it, but still tastes amazing!)

So I wondered if we could make this old treat more healthy and still get a similar taste, and of course we can! Let’s get cooking…

White Chocolate Snacks

1/4 cup cacao butter

1 TBS peanut butter powder

1 TBS honey

½ cup toasted slivered almonds

How you do it…

Melt cacao butter in double boiler.

Then take off heat and stir in everything else.

Spoon out teaspoons full on a tray or in small cup cake papers.

Refrigerate for 30 mins.

Love, love, love. Beautiful with a cup of tea.

Update: while I don’t eat almonds or any nuts that much any more due to PUFA content, shredded coconut may work with this or chopped Macadamia Nuts. Read more about the Dr Ray Peat style of eating I follow here.

    Are you able to provide an amount in grams for the cacao butter please?
    The cacao butter I have is in irregular sized/shaped chunks.
    P.S. I absolutely love your sesame snaps!
