Healthier Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp avocado oil
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 tsp flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Pour chocolate chips and avocado oil into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Microwave for another 30 seconds, then stir again. If the chocolate isn't melted and smooth, microwave for another 30 second interval.
- If using a muffin tin, line with mini muffin liners. If you don’t have a muffin tin, use silicone ice cube trays. They work great, and don't require liners!
- Spoon about 1 T of the melted chocolate into each liner or mold. Place entire tray in freezer for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Remove tray from refrigerator. Add about 1 tsp of peanut butter to each mold.
- Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the top of the peanut butter in each mold, so that the peanut butter is completely covered.
- Sprinkle each cup with sea salt
- Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and set.
Notes
If you don’t have avocado oil, any neutral-flavored oil like grapeseed, vegetable, or sunflower oil will work. You can use olive oil too, but note that the flavor is much stronger so you might be able to taste it. Avocado oil is our favorite because it’s full of antioxidants!
