Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup cacao powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut oil, cacao powder, and maple syrup.
  • Line a muffin pan with non-sticking paper cups. Pour a small amount (I used 1 scoop of a 1.6-inch cookie dough scooper) into the paper cups. Freeze for 20 minutes.
  • Then add a small scoop (about 1/2 tbsp) peanut butter on top of the chocolate layer. Then spread the rest of the chocolate mixture on top of the peanut butter to submerge the peanut butter layer.
  • Sprinkle a little sea salt on top. Freeze an hour or until solid.
  • ENJOY!

Notes

  1. In terms of the amount of peanut butter, use more or less depending on your preference. I used roughly 1 cup but just scooped it straight out of the jar. Oops.
  2. It’s okay if the peanut butter sinks into the chocolate mixture.
  3. These homemade peanut butter cups melt fairly easily. Store in the freezer or fridge for best results.
