Chocolate Peanut Butter Candies

When I found a recipe for homemade chocolate peanut butter cups recently, I wanted to try it immediately. The only problem was I didn't have any chocolate in the house. Well, that and the fact that each piece contains a full day's worth of carbs. I decided to make my own version and skip the cup entirely. This is now my new favorite chocolate candy!

3 T cocoa powder
1½ T butter, softened
1 T honey
3 T peanut butter
1 T heavy cream

1. Beat 2½ T cocoa powder with other ingredients until smooth.
2. Place in the freezer for 20-30 min until chocolate has set.
3. Spread remaining cocoa powder in a flat dish.
4. Remove mixture from freezer and form 1-in balls.
5. Roll in cocoa powder to coat.
6. Store in refrigerator.
