Ingredients:
½ cup coconut oil, melted
½ cup cocoa powder
3-4 tablespoons maple syrup, to taste
About ⅓ cup peanut butter
Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Line a mini muffin tin with small or medium cupcake liners –although medium might not be small enough for the mini muffin tin. Or, you may also use a peanut butter cup mould instead of the muffin tin.
Mix up the melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey in a measuring cup. Add more maple syrup as you wish.
Pour a thin layer of the chocolate mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Make sure you have more of that chocolate mixture left, you are going to need it later. Place the thinly filled cupcake liners in the refrigerator to harden for about 10 minutes.
Take out the cupcake moulds with the hardened chocolate layer, pour about ½ teaspoon of peanut butter over the hardened chocolate.
Pour enough of the rest of the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter to cover it completely. If at all the remaining chocolate has got too thick, pop it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to remelt.
Repeat until all the moulds are covered. If you wish, sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt. Return to the refrigerator to harden completely.
Store at cool room temperature, or maybe in the refrigerator if you live in a warm climate.
