Halloween's got me surrounded by free candy and I am not likin it! Anyone else trying to cut their sugar intake? Welp, we gotta get creative.  I tried making my own Reese's cups since I'm in love with them & I needed a healthier version.  I'm so happy I did! Check it out, let me know what you think?
