Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Chill Time: 2 hrs 
• Yield: 12 cups
• Serving Size: 1 cup

Ingredients

• 7 oz. (200g) 85 percent cacao chocolate bar
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• ¾ cup unsweetened peanut butter
• 2 TB. raw honey
• ⅛ tsp. sea salt

Instructions

1 Break chocolate bar into small pieces. Heat a small saucepan or double boiler over low heat. Add chocolate pieces and coconut oil and stir occasionally until melted, about 3 to 5 minutes.
2 Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Pour a ⅛-inch (3mm) layer of chocolate in the bottom of each paper liner. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine unsweetened peanut butter, raw honey, and sea salt and mix well.
4 Remove chocolate cups from freezer. Spoon peanut butter mixture into the cups, and then drizzle with remaining chocolate (You may need to reheat chocolate slightly and whisk to remove
clumps.)
5 Refrigerate for 2 hours, or until chocolate hardens. Serve cold, and keep refrigerated to store.
Tip:  If you can’t or don’t eat peanut butter, you can substitute unsweetened almond or cashew butter instead.
