Chocolate Almond Butter Cups
- FOR THE ALMOND BUTTER:
- 1/2 cups Almond Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Agave Nectar (vegan) Or Honey (paleo)
- 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil, Melted (measure After Melting)
- FOR THE CHOCOLATE:
- 1/3 cups Agave Nectar (vegan) Or Honey (paleo)
- 1 cup Coconut Oil, Melted (measure After Melting)
- 1 cup Unsweetened Cacao Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- For the almond butter:
- In food processor, blend almond butter, agave nectar, and melted coconut oil until smooth, using the tamper if necessary.
- For the chocolate:
- While blending, in a separate bowl, whisk agave nectar, melted coconut oil, unsweetened cacao powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Once you think you have whisked enough, stir it a little longer. This will ensure all the ingredients blend well together, especially the cacao powder, which has a tendency to clump.
- Pour just enough of the chocolate mixture into muffin tins to cover the bottom. Refrigerate for a few minutes to set. This makes the first layer of chocolate strong enough to hold the almond butter mixture.
- Using a teaspoon, add almond butter mixture to the first layer of chocolate. Spread evenly, if necessary, using the backside of the teaspoon. Top immediately with remaining chocolate.
- Place in freezer until ready to serve.
