Description

Delicious homemade vegan peanut butter cups, perfect for Valentine’s Day. They’re rich, chocolatey, and made with simple, wholesome ingredients.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth.
  3. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each liner, tilting to coat the sides. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, sea salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Spoon a small amount of the peanut butter mixture into the center of each chocolate shell.
  6. Top each cup with more melted chocolate to cover the peanut butter.
  7. Return to the freezer for 15-20 minutes until fully set.
  8. Store in the fridge or freezer until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • You can use almond butter or sunflower seed butter as a substitute for peanut butter.
  • Use silicone liners for easy removal.
  • Decorate the tops with pink sea salt or vegan sprinkles for a Valentine touch.
