Almond Butter Chocolate Cups

My sweet, paleo, super healthy food friend, Susanna, recently posted that she made these Almond Butter Chocolate Cups. They looked absolutely to die for! So of course I had to make some... and of course they were to die for (and super easy to make)!

Ingredients:

Nut Butter Layer
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup almond butter
1 tbsp. honey or maple syrup
2 pinches sea salt

Chocolate Layer
6 tbsp. coconut oil
6 tbsp. cocoa powder (unsweetened)
3 tbsp. honey or maple syrup
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
a pinch or 2 of sea salt
*extra sea salt for sprinkling on top is optional*

1. Line a muffin pan with 10 paper liners.
2. In a small pan, melt coconut oil for the nut butter layer completely. Remove from heat and add the almond butter, sweetener and salt. Mix until smooth.
3. Place 2 tsp. of nut butter mixture in each paper liner. Place in freezer to set for 10 min.
4. Next, make the chocolate layer by melting the coconut oil in a separate small pan. Remove from heat and add the cocoa, sweetener, vanilla and sea salt. Mix until smooth.
5. Remove pan from the freezer and place 3 tsp. of the chocolate mixture in each paper liner. Place in freezer to set for 10 min.
6. Reheat the nut butter mixture. Remove the pan from the freezer and add 2 tsp. to the top of each chocolate layer. *optional: Sprinkle sea salt on top of each cup if desired
7. Place in the freezer to set completely for 30 minutes.
**Store in the fridge so the cups do not get too soft.
