What Are Weight Watchers Peanut Butter Cups?
This dessert is made with PB2 and is only 2 points for each cup. It requires just two ingredients (or three if you add the optional sugar-free chocolate syrup). It's a simple, no-bake treat perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the hassle.
Ingredients For Weight Watchers Peanut Butter Cups Recipe
- Fat-Free Cool Whip: Forms the creamy base of the recipe. Thaw to room temperature for easy mixing.
- PB2 Powder: Adds peanut butter flavor with just 1 SmartPoint for 2 tablespoons. Mix well for even flavor.
- Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup (optional): A zero-point topping that adds to the sweetness.
How To Make PB2 Peanut Butter Cups
For this recipe, you will want to thaw a fat-free Cool Whip to room temperature. One container contains 14 smart points, and the two tablespoons of PB2 you will use will be just 1 point. Optionally, you can add a swirl of calorie-free chocolate syrup to the top the cups.
To make this Weight Watchers peanut butter snack recipe, add PB2 powder to a container of fat-free Cool Whip in a bowl.
Mix until the powder has been incorporated into the Cool Whip.
Spoon the mixture into seven mini cupcake liners.
Next, if desired, add a drizzle of syrup. I used sugar-free chocolate syrup. Finally, freeze the peanut butter cups for 4-5 hours, until they have hardened.
You can eat these straight out of the freezer or let them thaw for a bit. Either way, the peanut butter flavor is wonderful! This is just the perfect sweet treat to enjoy while staying on plan.
This Weight Watchers Peanut Butter Cups Recipe comes in at just 2 points per cup and makes a tasty treat after dinner.
What Do These Taste Like?
These frozen peanut butter cups have a creamy, mousse-like texture with a rich peanut butter flavor. While they aren't identical to a traditional peanut butter cup, they're a lighter dessert option that satisfies peanut butter cravings.
Helpful Tips for Making Peanut Butter Cups
If your mixture seems difficult to stir, the Cool Whip may not be fully thawed. Letting it soften completely before mixing helps create a smoother texture.
Mini cupcake liners are ideal because they naturally create portion-controlled servings and make cleanup easier.
These peanut butter cups are meant to be enjoyed frozen. The texture becomes much softer if they sit out too long, so it's best to remove only what you plan to eat.
