Ingredients

2/3 cup melted coconut oil
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
5 tbsp real maple syrup
1/2 cup peanut butter Use any kind you like - I used creamy, but you can use natural, crunchy, etc.
flaky sea salt, for topping optional

Instructions

Prep: Line a mini muffin tin with muffin papers.
Mix up the Chocolate: Whisk together the melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, vanilla, and maple syrup. You can adjust the amount of cocoa powder and maple syrup to taste.
Assemble the Peanut Butter Cups: Spoon 1 teaspoon of the chocolate mixture into the bottom of each of the muffin papers - it should coat the bottom nicely. Then, add a dollop of peanut butter to each cup. Top each one off with the remaining chocolate. Sprinkle with a little sea salt, if desired. Freeze until solid and enjoy!
Chill: Pop these pans in the fridge or freezer until completely set.
Serve + Store: Enjoy once set! These need to be stored in the fridge or freezer - they'll melt at room temp. They keep for weeks in the fridge or freezer.
