Ingredients
For the peanut butter center
  • 1/4 cup pure creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
For the "chocolate"
  • 4 Tbs coconut oil
  • 4 Tbs honey
  • 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
  • 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions

  1. In a small bowl mix the peanut butter, 2 teaspoons of honey and 1/4 tsp of vanilla with a whisk and set aside.

  2. In a small sauce pan melt the coconut oil and remaining honey over low heat.

  3. Add the cacao powder and whisk until smooth.

  4. Add the remaining vanilla and mix well creating a melted chocolate.

  5. Remove from heat.

  6. Using a small spoon, scoop a small amount of the melted chocolate into each cup in a silicon mini-cup candy tray. Scrape chocolate up the sides of the cups. 

  7. Scoop a small bit of the peanut butter mixture into each cup containing chocolate. 

  8. Add enough melted chocolate over the top to cover the peanut butter and fill the cup completely. 

  9. Once the entire tray is complete, place the tray full of melty peanut butter cups into the freezer for at least 20 minutes to harden.

  10. When the peanut butter cups have solidified, remove from the freezer and individually pop the peanut butter cups out of the tray. 

  11. Store in the fridge or freezer until ready to serve.
