Serves: 32
INGREDIENTS:
  • Base layer
  • 1½ cup natural peanut butter (or substitute almond butter)
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons of cacao or cocoa powder (to make it extra chocolatey)
  • Top layer
  • 4 100g chocolate bars (or 2 cups chocolate chips or wafers), dark is preferable nutritionally but milk or white can be used
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Mix together the base layer ingredients in a bowl then spoon 1 tablespoon at a time into lined mini muffin tins. Press down so that the mixture spreads to the edge and is packed in compactly.
  2. Melt the chocolate in a medium pot over low heat, stirring constantly (especially if using white chocolate- it burns the easiest). Once fully melted, spoon 1 tablespoon of the chocolate over each peanut butter cup and use the back of the spoon to push it out to the edges so that it is even. Set aside for about an hour for the chocolate to harden back up. Store in the fridge for a few days or the freezer for longer but let it come to room temperature before serving so that the chocolate is soft enough to bite into.
