INGREDIENTS

170 grams dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa),

chopped

125 grams natural peanut butter,

3 Tablespoon coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Melt the chocolate in a large bowl placed over, but not touching, a pot of boiling water.

Add the chocolate and 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil and allow both to melt completely, while stirring occasionally. When melted turn off the heat, but leave the bowl on the pot to keep warm.

In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter with the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil.

Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners then pour enough of the melted chocolate mixture to cover the bottom of each liner and set them in the freezer for about 5 minutes.

Once set, add a small scoop of the peanut butter mixture into the centre of the cup and gently flatten with your thumb or the back of a spoon then pour enough melted chocolate over the peanut butter to cover the top.

Pop back into the freezer for about 25-30 minutes to completely set.

If you’re not going to devour these right away, make sure to remove the peanut butter cups from the freezer about 30 minutes before serving and place them into the fridge to thaw and soften enough to eat.
