- Category: dessert
- Method: stove top
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz vegan chocolate of your choice
- 1 tablespoon of peanut or almond butter
- A tiny splash of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon maple syrup
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
- Sea salt flakes to sprinkle
Instructions
- To prepare the filling thoroughly mix the peanut/almond butter with the vanilla extract, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- Melt the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl VERY gently in the microwave. I gave it 10-second bursts and then stirred well. Remember it melts quickly – before it looks like it’s melted!
- Pour a little of the chocolate into the mini cupcake molds. Add a small dollop of the peanut butter mixture, then cover with some more chocolate.
- Continue until you’ve used up all your mini cups. Sprinkle over a little salt if desired then place in the freezer for about 30 minutes to harden up.
- Happily, once hardened up they keep well at room temperature for a few days, but believe me they won’t be around that long.
