Peanut Chocolate Candy

I just wanted to share a quick treat idea. Yesterday I made a batch of the Pay Off Day Candy from the new Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook. I poured it into mini muffin liners and froze it. Then I made a batch of Skinny Chocolate and poured that on top. After a few minutes in the freezer, they were ready to it. Delicious!

P.S. If anyone would like the Pay Off Day Candy recipe, just let me know and I'll do a post on it!
