Wow, that post was something. I can’t remember the last time a blog post & accompanying photos did such a good job of making me want to create the item in question. Plus, peanut butter cups are something I loved from my non-vegan days, so it’s great to be able to make them from much better and tastier ingredients than back in the day.

@Lori: Looks like PB2 is just peanuts, salt and sugar, so yes, it appears vegan!

Is PB2 vegan? That might be a good sub for the peanut butter.

Dang – those are calorie packed. I couldn’t do them because I have a peanut butter obsession.

Love the book! Love this recipe! Hate knowing the calorie count per serving. I also really enjoyed the Bok Choy with Drizzled Ume Vinagrette (fewer calories for sure!!)

While I don’t really focus on calorie and fat grams, I do think those are a little ridiculous. I’d be interested in seeing the sugar content of those bad boys! Regardless, I think there are many ways to make healthier desserts – even if the calorie content is a little high, raw desserts are so much better for you and usually pretty freaking delicious. I probably won’t buy Alicia’s book but I might browse through it. They look freaking delicious, though! Love PB&chocolate! I’ve gotten to a point where I’d rather spoon a little PB & a few choc chips in my oatmeal to get my fix.

I am not vegan sooo… BUT, I like my power PB on whole grain toast… or I may take a bite out of the computer screen for that PB cookie!

@ Bronwyn: Based on the Sunspire brand of Carob Chips, you’d cut a total of 36 g of fat from the recipe and 720 calories! that’s insane!
