Serving cups

Ingredients

Base Layer:

2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 cup almond flour
¼ cup maple syrup

Peanut Butter Layer:

⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
2 Tbsp 100% maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocoalte Layer:

⅔ cup chocolate chips, (I used Lily's Dark Chocoalte Chips)
2 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

Prepare a mini muffin tin with liners.
In a mixing bowl, combine all the base layer ingredients. Place a spoonful of the mixture into each liner, tapping down with your finger to make a flat patty. It should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick. Place in freezer to set for a few minutes while preparing peanut butter layer.
In a second bowl, combine all the peanut butter layer ingredients. Spoon about 2 tsp of peanut butter into each cup. Place the tray in the freezer for 5 minutes while preparing the chocolate.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second interval, stirring in between until melted. You can use the double boiler method also.
Spoon chocolate over peanut butter layer and sprinkle some salt on top if desired. Place in the freezer or refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set completely.
Store leftovers in the fridge for 5 - 7 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Notes

* Can substitute peanut butter for almond butter or sun butter.

* Can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave.

TO STORE: in the fridge for 5 - 7 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
