Towards the end of December, I stopped by the bank to deposit a check after a marathon session of running errands and Christmas gift shopping. When I handed the bank teller my check, she looked down at it, back at me, and apologized profusely because she didn’t have the authority to take care of something from that particular sender.
She explained that her manager would be able to complete the deposit after finishing with another customer, and I reassured her that wasn’t a problem at all. We chatted for a few minutes, until a new patron walked into the bank, and I offered to step aside to let the sweet teller help him.
After the man finished his transaction, I talked with the teller for another couple of minutes, but when I remembered the dark chocolate bars sitting in my car in the hot Southern California afternoon sun, I mentioned to her that I needed to rescue the chocolate from my car before it melted. She smiled, and when I walked back into the bank with the bars tucked safely inside of my oversized purse, she asked me if I wanted some of their chocolate.
Upon seeing my puzzled face, she grabbed a gigantic golden box, walked around the counter, and opened it to show me. Inside sat a few dozen gourmet truffles from See’s Candy, and she insisted that I took one.
How sweet was that??
When the manager finally finished with her customer, she led me over to her desk to complete the deposit for my check. Just like the teller, she apologized over and over again for making me wait, and when she handed me the receipt for my transaction, she also brought out another dark chocolate truffle from the golden See’s box for me to enjoy on the drive home.
I love the ladies who run my local bank!
And those same sweet ladies were the inspiration for these Healthy Double Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups! These are incredibly rich with a silky smooth dark chocolate coating and a decadent dark chocolate peanut butter filling. Yes, dark chocolate flavors in the filling too!
Yet unlike the See’s truffles inside of that big golden box, this healthy homemade candy contains no butter, oil, heavy cream, artificial flavors, refined flour or added sugar. And they’re just 38 calories!
