Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

*dairy & gluten free 

These are super delicious treats! They are dairy and gluten free, and a "healthier" version of a chocolate peanut butter cup. It takes no time at all to make and all you need are four ingredients and cupcake liners.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons sunflower seed butter 
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 cups chocolate chips 
• ​sea salt to top (optional)

notes 

• You can substitute peanut butter or almond butter for the sunflower seed butter if preferred.
• Instead of honey, maple syrup can be used.
• Also, either milk or dark chocolate chips work, whichever you like best! I used dairy free dark chocolate chips.

Recipe 

• Fill a cupcake pan with liners or arrange them on a cooking sheet.
• In a small bowl, combine sunflower seed butter and honey. Stir until well blended.
• Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in another small bowl. I did this in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each one. It took about three or four 30-second bursts.
• Fill the bottom of each cup with a small dollop of the melted chocolate. Add a small spoonful of the sunflower seed butter and honey mixture.
• Melt the second cup of chocolate chips (1 cup) and add the final layer of chocolate to the cups, covering the sunflower seed butter and honey mixture.
• Freeze the chocolates for 5 minutes.
• If you're using sea salt, lightly sprinkle some over the top and then freeze for another 25 minutes.

Once the timer goes off, they are ready to enjoy! Be sure to store them in an air tight container or sealed bag in the refrigerator.

This recipe is so simple and is a wonderful treat for everyone and those with dietary restrictions. I originally found the recipe here and will definitely be making them again. Yum!

Hope you enjoy!
