Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup natural peanut butter and 3 tbsp melted coconut oil, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  2. Step 2: Add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/3 cup powdered erythritol, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture; stir well until fully incorporated and slightly thickened.
