Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Tartelettes

Mmmm….there’s really not much you can say about these that doesn’t already go without saying.

Haha…chocolate & peanut butter. My ever favorite combination.

 

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but in recent posts I’ve been taking some up close shots. I’ve been dying for a macro lens…but, for the time being (gotta save up!), we (my husband and I) bought these. They are close-up macro filter set (+1, +2, +4, +10). And they work pretty well considering we only paid $11 for them…compared to the $1000 Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro Lens that we’re saving up for.

You can buy all of the photography equipment that I have in my amazon store. 🙂

 

Anyway…back to the chocolate & peanut butter deliciousness!!!

These scrumptious miniature little tarts are made with a gluten free chocolate cookie crust, tofu peanut butter mousse, and dark chocolate ganache.

Oh. My. Gah.

So good.

  1. I tried the chocolate peanut butter mousse cups…and loved them! The mousse was sooo good, but the dark chocolate cups were a bit spendy! I’m excited for another recipe option to use the yummy mousse in!

  2. Well, clearly we know I love tofu and sweet combined 😉 And peanut butter, duh, no brainer! I’d gobble these little babies right up. I need to find a $10 lense like that for my Nikon.

  3. Oh Caroline I think we have a lot in common! My husband and I are total peanut butter and chocolate fiends. My most recent success was the ultimate Peanut Butter Cups which we are total suckers for. Will definitely try these bad boys sometime – thanks for posting the recipe! I happen to have the exact tins aswell (albeit much much older), picked them up from a vintage market in Sydney – nice to have a recipe to use them for 🙂 I’m just embarking on partaking in the blog world, having been an avid reader for years. Your blog has inspired me a lot – thanks, and I look forward to reading more of your posts.
