Q: How do I make Reese's-style peanut butter cups without sugar?
A: ChocZero Sugar Free Keto Bark melted + Nuts 'n More Protein PB layered in mini cups. 90 kcal, 4g protein, 1g sugar each.
This is the recipe that converted every Reese's holdout in the TNF shop. ChocZero bark melts to a real-chocolate texture (because it actually contains cocoa butter). Nuts 'n More adds whey protein on top of the peanut butter, giving you 4g protein per cup — versus 0g in commercial PB cups.
Ingredients (12 cups)
- 1 bar (90g) ChocZero Sugar Free Keto Bark, broken — ChocZero Sugar Free Keto Bark (1 bar of 8 pieces)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup Nuts 'n More Protein Peanut Butter — Nuts 'n More Protein Peanut Butter
- Pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Melt ChocZero bark and coconut oil in a double boiler until smooth.
- Spoon 1 tsp chocolate into the bottom of each of 12 mini cupcake liners. Tap pan to spread.
- Freeze 5 minutes to set bottoms.
- Spoon 2 tsp Nuts 'n More into each — leaving a small border for the top chocolate to seal.
- Top with remaining melted chocolate, sealing the peanut butter.
- Sprinkle sea salt, freeze 20 minutes.

Tips From the TNF Kitchen
- Use a coffee scoop or small cookie scoop for even portions.
- Tap each cup on the counter after the chocolate layer to release air bubbles.
- Freeze in the cupcake liners and store in a zip bag.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Nuts 'n More instead of regular peanut butter?
Nuts 'n More adds 7g protein per 2 tbsp on top of natural peanut protein. Sweetened with stevia, not sugar.
Can I use chocolate chips instead?
ChocZero bark is the only sugar-free chocolate we recommend for melting — it has cocoa butter. Most sugar-free chips don't melt smoothly.
How long do these keep?
1 month in the freezer, 2 weeks in the fridge.
