Raw Peanut Butter Coconut Cups

I absolutely love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. They are very delicious, but also very naughty! I love when I discover that you can make a sugar-free/dairy-free/gluten-free option, especially when they are just as delicious as the original.

These Peanut Butter Cups take no baking, very little ingredients and a bit of patience.

You will need:

For the Chocolate Layer-

Two tablespoons of Coconut Oil

One tablespoon of Raw Cacao Powder

One teaspoon of Raw Cacao Nibs

One teaspoon of Organic Honey

For the Peanut-Butter Layer-

Two tablespoons of Coconut Oil

Two tablespoons of Nut Butter - (I like peanut best)

One teaspoon of Desiccated Coconut 

Cupcake Cases

Cupcake Tray

(Makes 6)

Lay the cupcake cases into the cupcake tray - this will make sure they look like peanut butter cups.

Fill a small pan with a couple of inches of water and rest a glass bowl on top. This will be used to melt everything slowly together without cooking the ingredients too fast, causing them to burn.

Put the coconut oil in first and wait till it has completely melted.

Stir in the raw cacao powder and nibs, the mixture will start to look chocolate like.

Spoon in the honey and stir - this gives the chocolate an added sweetness.

Carefully decant a small amount into each cupcake case and put into the freezer for 10 minutes.

While the chocolate is freezing, you can start on the peanut-butter layer.

Like before, melt the coconut oil first then stir in the nut butter.

It should become thinner than peanut butter because of the oil, making it freeze quicker.

Add the desiccated coconut into the mixture.

Now take the frozen chocolate cups out of the freezer.

Pour the peanut butter layer on top, and pop back into the freezer for another 10 minutes.

Sprinkle with an extra bit of desiccated coconut for decoration.

Now your peanut butter cups are ready to eat, or put them into the fridge to save for later.

(I sometimes add an extra layer of chocolate on top. To do this, just repeat the chocolate recipe layer again.)

Enjoy
