Recipe Steps:

First you’ll get a small bowl and melt your chocolate chips and coconut oil. The key here is to not burn the chocolate. I microwave for 15 seconds, stir, and microwave for 15 more seconds, repeat until it’s completely melted. This helps prevent you from burning the chocolate by over-microwaving.

You can use a regular cupcake tin or I used a bunny shaped cupcake mold to be festive. You’ll fill the cups up about 1/3 of the way with the chocolate mixture. I made 6 bunnies or 6 regular sized cupcakes. You should still have about 1/2 of the chocolate mixture left. Place the pan in the freezer for 1ish hour, until the chocolate hardens.

Then you’ll make the ‘peanut butter’ layer. I used almond butter to keep this recipe paleo. You can sub any nut butter or if you’re nut free use sunflower butter. Mix with maple syrup or you can use honey here.

Remove the pan from the freezer, add the almond butter mixture on top of the chocolate. Smooth it out with a knife.

Method

  1. In a bowl melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave stirring every 15 seconds.

  4. Put in the freezer until it hardens.
  5. In another bowl- mix together the almond butter and maple syrup with a spoon.

  8. Then add the rest of the chocolate on top.
  9. Freeze until you’re ready to eat! Takes about 2 hours.
