With the holidays just around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to share a few of my favorite, yet, healthy treats!

Recently I have found that you don’t have to sacrifice your sweet tooth just because you are eating clean / healthy! There are so many amazing recipes that you can make that will satisfy your sweet tooth and yet not make you feel guilty about it later.

Today I am going to share with all of you a homemade peanut butter cup recipe that will knock your socks off! I made it for my husband (Brandon is a huge Reese’s Fan) and he loved them!

Let me tell you this, if he loves them then I know that you will too!

I didn’t even tell you the best part… There are only 4 ingredients needed to make these amazing treats.

You will need:

Mini muffin tins
Mini cupcake paper liners

FOR THE PEANUT BUTTER BOTTOMS

1 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup raw honey
1/2 cup coconut oil (melted/liquid)
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (Shaklee Life Shake is my favorite) 

Combined all of these ingredients into a sauce pan on low. Stir constantly until all of the ingredients are melted together.  Then place the cupcake liners into the muffin tins and filling the cup up 1/2 to 3/4 of the way. Set aside in the freezer for now.

FOR THE CHOCOLATE TOPPING

1 cup pure dark chocolate (with 70% cacao powder or more)
1/4 cup organic coconut oil (melted)

Using the same sauce pan, melt the remaining coconut oil over low heat. Once the coconut oil is fully melted, brake your dark chocolate into big chunks and add them to the pan.  Stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Then spoon the chocolate on top of the peanut butter mixture in the muffin tins, filling the cups up almost all the way to the top.

Place the tray in the fridge or freezer and don’t take them out until you are ready to serve.

My favorite part about these peanut butter cups is that you don’t have to feel bad about about eating them! They are packed with nutrition in each and ever ingredient.

This past weekend we spent time with family! To me there is nothing more important than family. Most of you probably don’t know that I am from a rather large family and there are 12 kids to be exact! There was never a dull moment and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I was just thinking. If you didn’t know that I was from a big family I am sure there are a lot of things you might not know about me. So I though this would be a great opportunity to re-introduce myself to all of you who don’t know me. And what a better way to get to know me than by me sharing 10 fun facts about myself that you may or may not know.

Hello everyone!!!

You may have noticed I have been a little MIA around here lately. We have been a little busy the past few months / years and I thought that I would fill you in on what is going on around here!

My first born, Magdalena, turned 3 this year and she is starting preschool next week! I can’t believe how fast she is growing up.

Steven my little man is going to be 2 at the end of this month! And he is just as handsome as ever! He stole our heart right away and now he continues to keep us wrapped around him little finger.

I went on my 8th Shaklee trip in April. Take a good look at these 2 cuties right here! They are the reason I choose Shaklee to be my brand partner! I can keep them healthy through the products they offer. I can stay home with them every single day to teach them, play with them and love them through the business opportunity they offer. I drive them in my mini van that my payments are paid for through Shaklee’s car program.  And last but not least, I get to take them on trips like this through there incentive trips they offer. Together my kids have been on 12 flights, they have been out of the country 3 times, have been to 8 different states, 2 different oceans as well as the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of California and so much more all because I choose to partner with Shaklee!

We also shared some excited news in June! Come January we will be adding another Johnson into our family! “One is great, two is fun, so we’re having another one!” 🙂

I started a new Instagram account for my Salon showcasing some of my favorite styles and products. You can follow me here: @BeautyByElisabethJohnson

My garden is thriving! This is our 3rd year of doing a garden and I absolutely love it and I think that everyone (who is able to) should have a garden for many reasons, but that is a post for another day! 😉

Brandon and I are going to be Celebrating 5 years of Marriage and 8 years together this September and we have some exciting travel plans coming up. There will be some posts to come!

That should hopeful get you caught up for now. I will be posting weekly again so stay tuned for all of the and exciting stuff to come!

In the mean time, is there anything that you would like to hear from me personally? I would love to make sure I am putting out content that you actually want to read! 🙂
