Itâs that time of year when we make copycat Reeseâs eggs! I made my own version because I am allergic to peanuts and felt left out when all of my friends and family eat them. Plus, I thought I could make a version that was a little healthier with a few ingredient swaps. It doesn't mean you can/should eat 10 at a time, but you'll feel better about eating this version. All you need is a few ingredients, a little time, and youâll enjoy these treats in a flash.
And to make these treats even more blood sugar friendly, have some protein or fiber to go along with em đ€
If you like a smoother texture, then feel free to swap out the Nuttzo for your preferred nut butter. I enjoy the crunchy texture and this Nuttzo has a tad more fiber in it. Plus it's made without added sugar.
The collagen peptides are also optional, but I usually add them as a fun boost. Collagen supports your hair, skin, and nails and may support digestion too. The powder is flavorless, so no worries there.
