The Quest Nutrition Mini Peanut Butter Cups are a new take on the classic confection for consumers to try out as a more satiating option that's perfect for moments when cravings hit. The shareable treats are formulated with eight-grams of protein in each one with less than a gram of sugar and one-gram of net carbs to make them suited for those practicing the Keto lifestyle. The product is perfect for those who need a sweet treat, but takes a decidedly different approach to candies to convey a greater attention to functional foods.
The Quest Nutrition Mini Peanut Butter Cups come in 16-count pouches, which are arriving at Walmart, Target, Amazon and QuestNutrition.com for $10.99 a pack.
