Recipe type: Gluten Free / Dairy Free / Vegan
Yield: 48-60 Mini Peanut Butter Cups
Ingredients:
- ¼ Cup Vegan Butter (I Use Melt or Earth Balance)
- ¾ Cup Unsweetened Peanut Butter
- ¾ Cup Gluten Free Graham Crackers (see note about grinding into crumbs)
- ¼ Cup Monk Fruit Sugar
- 9 oz. Package of Dark Chocolate Chips – Enjoy Life Brand + 1/3 Cup
- ½ Cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk
- Sea Salt
- Package of Mini Cupcake Wrappers
Instructions:
- Line a mini 24 muffin/cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In a mini food processor, grind up the graham crackers until like a flour consistency.
- Add sugar to graham crackers and stir to combine.
- Place peanut butter and butter into a small bowl. Microwave for about 40-50 seconds allow to completely melt. Stir until fully combined.
- Add the peanut butter mixture to graham cracker crumbs.
- Mix with a spoon until combined.
- Scoop out about 1 teaspoon sized portion into mini cupcake lined pan. Be sure and fill bottom of cupcake wrapper pressing down.
- Place both mini cupcake pans in refrigerator.
- In a small to medium-sized bowl (glass or metal), add the dark chocolate chips.
- Place bowl with chocolate over double boiler and heat on medium low. Add half the coconut milk.
- Stir with a whisk until combined and completely melted. Slowly add in (1 TBSP at a time) the remaining coconut milk until the chocolate has a glossy texture to it. You may not need all of the milk (depends on your chocolate). You want it to be glossy but not too runny.
- Next measure about 1 teaspoon’s worth of the chocolate and spoon over the peanut butter graham cracker layer. Place back in refrigerator once done.
- After 5-10 minutes, take them back out and sprinkle a pinch of Himalayan sea salt on top of each.
- Keep in the refrigerator or freezer. They freeze awesome and can last up to 2 months or more in freezer.
