Organic Peanut/Almond Butter Cups

Kezia Hall
A healthy, dairy free version of a classic - grain free, dairy free and treat-tastic!
Servings 10 portions

Ingredients
  

  • Coating
  • 200 g Dark Organic Chocolate I used 85-90%
  • 2 tbsp 'scoops' Organic Coconut Oil
  • Filling
  • 130 g Peanut or Almond Butter no added sugar + organic
  • 1 tbsp Raw honey
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil

Instructions
 

  • Melt the chocolate in the glass bowl over some simmering water with the coconut oil. Mix thoroughly.
  • Then in muffin cases (around 10) place a tbsp of chocolate mixture in each case to thinly cover the bottom of the case . Place the rest of the bowl of melted chocolate over the warm water but with the heat off under the pan - this ensures it stay melted. Place the muffin cases in the freezer on a tray.
  • Then either by hand or by pulsing in the food processor blend all the filling ingredients. Do not blend for too long otherwise you lose the creamy consistency.
  • As always, taste and see if you want to add more sweetness or salt depending on your fancy.
  • Then place just less than a tsp of the peanut butter mixture on the now frozen chocolate lined muffin cases. Make a round layer in the middle but don't let it reach the edges.
  • Level off the peanut butter discs.
  • The pour slowly the remaining chocolate until covered, do this a little at a time to ensure you have enough to cover all of 'cups'.
  • Smooth the tops if any peanut butter mixture pokes through (if your bothered). Then freeze until solid - about 45mins.

Notes

By a scoop I mean using a tablespoon to scoop a level amount from hard coconut oil.
This would also work brilliantly with my homemade chocolate recipe and with almond/cashew butter.
Budget tip - Sainburys sell the cheapest organic peanut butter I have yet to find!!
