Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

This is one of my favorite sweet treat recipes! These little peanut butter cups are small and rich so it only takes one or two to curb that sweet tooth. You can indulge a little without feeling yucky afterwards because they aren't full of yucky ingredients.

What you'll need:

Peanut Butter Layer:
1 cup unsalted, peanut butter
1/4 cup + 2 tbs pure maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut flour

Chocolate Layer:
1 cup vegan semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsalted, natural peanut butter

Peanut Butter Layer:
It is best if you use peanut butter that is still room temp as it makes it easier to work with. You will need a mini muffin pan and mini muffin liners.
This recipe makes at least 24 depending on how full you fill the liners.
Combine the ingredients for the peanut butter layer. Loosely fill the muffins liners approximately half way full with the peanut butter batter. Use your thumb to firmly press the batter into the liner.

Chocolate Layer:
In mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and chocolate chips. Heat in microwave for 20 seconds and stir and then repeat this step until the choc is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Use a spoon to slowly drizzle the choc mixture to fill the liners almost full (you want to leave some space at the top so that the liner is easily peeled away from the chocolate).
Place pan into the freezer for 30 minutes. Remove from freezer and they are ready to enjoy!

These treats can be stored in the refrigerator or in the freezer. I like to make two batches at a time and then freeze a bunch so that I have something on hand when my sweet tooth wants to get the best of me...you can thaw them for 10 minutes or eat them still frozen, either way is delicious!
