Method
- Line a mini cupcake tin with mini cupcake liners. I made 16 mini cups here so that’s how many to line.
- In a bowl, mix together 1 1/4 cup chocolate chips with 2 tbsp coconut oil. Melt for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat this until the chocolate is melted.
- Fill the cups halfway with the chocolate. You should have about 1/2 the chocolate mixture leftover.
- Place the pan in the freezer for an hour.
- When the hour is almost up, get another bowl out and mix the cashew butter + maple syrup together.
- Remove the pan from the freezer and spoon the cashew butter mixture into each cup. You’ll want to almost fill each cup here. You can take a knife to smooth it out if you want your cups to be flat on top but can also skip that step.
- Use the rest of your chocolate mixture and cover each cup.
- Place back in the freezer for another hour or two, until the chocolate is completely hardened.
- Store in the fridge or freezer.
