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:

  1. Line a mini 24 muffin/cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a mini food processor, grind up the graham crackers until like a flour consistency.
  3. Add sugar to graham crackers and stir to combine.
  4. Place peanut butter and butter into a small bowl. Microwave for about 40-50 seconds allow to completely melt. Stir until fully combined.
  5. Add the peanut butter mixture to graham cracker crumbs.
  6. Mix with a spoon until combined.
  7. Scoop out about 1 teaspoon sized portion into mini cupcake lined pan. Be sure and fill bottom of cupcake wrapper pressing down.
  8. Place both mini cupcake pans in refrigerator.
  9. In a small to medium-sized bowl (glass or metal), add the dark chocolate chips.
  10. Place bowl with chocolate over double boiler and heat on medium low. Add half the coconut milk.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. After 5-10 minutes, take them back out and sprinkle a pinch of Himalayan sea salt on top of each.
  14. Keep in the refrigerator or freezer. They freeze awesome and can last up to 2 months or more in freezer.
