It is Secret Recipe Club Time!! I had to take off last month because of moving but am back at it again. Before we get started I wanted to announce the winners from my International Delight Giveaway.
Winner 1 – Kesha
Winner 2 – Amy
Check your email ladies, so I can send you your prize.
For Secret Recipe Club this month I was assigned Quick and Easy, Cheap and Healthy. This site is full of so many great and healthy recipes, as well as shopping deals, coupon links, menu planning, and much more. She was actually assigned my blog one of the first months that I participated in SRC! Check out her take on my Cinnamon Roll Muffins. I had a couple recipes picked out including this Pizza, but as usual my sweet tooth won out.
The original recipe is made with Sunbutter, due to allergies. Fortunately, we do not have allergies here, so I just used peanut butter. These are a fun treat to have in the fridge or freezer. They melt quickly, so I kept them in the fridge. I currently have a few in the freezer to pull out in a chocolate emergency 🙂

I dont know how they are possibly healthy – they look gorgeous and so yummy!!
Gretchen (Veggie Grettie) says
Um…YUM! Chocolate and PB is seriously one of the best flavor combos EVER!
Ginny says
Hi Erin! This is so funny. I had your blog for SRC…and I made…PEANUT BUTTER CUPS…also with coconut oil. What a great coincidence.
These look fantastic!
It was so much fun to cook from your blog. You have quite a stockpile of recipes and such pretty photographs!

Jessica@AKitchenAddiction says
These would not last long at my house! Yum!
melissa@IWasBornToCook says
They look great! A lot of us had peanut butter on the brain this month 🙂
Ramona says
Healthy and delicious!! It would mess with my head and I would eat the whole batch because I would just keep saying… “just one more…”. 🙂
Cucina49 says
Erin, those look delicious and so easy! Much better than preservative-filled Reese’s cups.
Patty says
Not only do these look delicious -they sound very fun to make! Another great recipe, thanks Erin:-)
Laura (Tutti Dolci) says
I want these in the freezer for an emergency! Yum!
Lisa~~ says
I had Anne’s blog back in February and chose the same recipe but changed them up also using peanut butter but also making them crunchy with nuts and Rice Krispies.
If you haven’t already, I’d love for you to check out my SRC entry: Chicken Satay Noodle Salad.

Lisa {AuthenticSuburbanGourmet} says
These look fantastic and so fun to make them at home versus buying from the store! I too enjoy SRC – I still need to pick my selection for group C reveal in a couple weeks. Pinning now!
Lemons and Anchovies says
I would love to have these in stock in my freezer for those frequent chocolate/peanut butter cravings. Good excuse to make a big batch!
Amy says
I’d make them but I’d probably attempt to eat all of them before they reached the fridge!
Anne @ Quick and Easy Cheap and Healthy says
So glad you enjoyed these! I haven’t made them in a while; I really need to 🙂
Leighann Browne says
If these are any bit of healthy…I’ll take 20! Thanks for the recipe.
Lesa @Edesia's Notebook says
Ha ha, glad I am not the only one who gets “chocolate emergencies”! These look fabulous!
Mercedes says
These look so tempting! And I love to use coconut oil as well! Any tips on getting involved with the Secret Recipe Club? I have signed up several times and have more than the necessary amount of recipes on my blog. Do they email you once you have been “accepted”? Thanks!
Erin says
I know they are full – I think there is a waiting list. I assume they will email you once you are accepted. I believe aside from having enough recipes, there is no other criteria to get in – just space 🙂
ally says
deliciously brilliant & lightened up… thank you!
