Well you’re in luck because my peanut butter freezer fudge is made with just 4 simple ingredients that are perfect for a low carb lifestyle! If you’re living the FASTer Way, you can make these work on regular macro days as well!

- Split recipe in half and add 2 tablespoon cacao powder to one half. Layer in muffin cups to create chocolate peanut butter cups!
