LOW CARB PEANUT BUTTER CUP SQUARES
These taste similar to a reeses peanut butter cup, but not quite the same. I wouldn't reccomend using "natural" peanut butter because it changes the taste. I use creamy peanut butter such as jif or peter pan, which has some sugar in it, but not much. The almond meal/flour is just ground up almonds, i make it myself and keep it in the freezer, it can go rancid if not refrigerated.

Steps:
- Butter a small square pan, the pan size depends on how thick you want them to be but it needs to be pretty small.
- Even in a very small pan, these still come out quite thin, if you prefer them thicker, just double all the ingredients.
- Mix the melted chocolate, splenda, butter, and 2 teaspoons peanut butter until smooth.
- Spread half of the mixture into the bottom of buttered pan.
- Put the pan into the freezer.
- While it's freezing, mix together the peanut butter, almond meal/flour, salt, and the 2 tablespoons splenda.
- After the chocolate hardens in the freezer, take it out and spread the peanut butter on top.
- Put the pan back into the freezer for about 3-4 minutes, until the peanut butter layer is semi-firm.
- Spread the remaining chocolate on top and put in the freezer until set.
- Cut into small squares and store in the refrigerator.

Tips:
- Use a food processor to make the peanut butter cup filling. This will help to ensure that the filling is smooth and creamy.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender. Just be sure to blend the filling until it is very smooth.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate peanut butter cups.
- If you don't have any peanut butter cups, you can use a mixture of peanut butter and chocolate chips. Just be sure to use equal amounts of each.
- Be sure to chill the cheesecake squares for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help them to set properly.
