Ingredients:
✻ 1/2 cup dates
✻ 1/4 cup almonds
✻ 2/3 cup oats
✻ 100g Peanut butter
✻ 1 tablespoon coconut oil
✻ Pinch of salt
✻ 80g chocolate melts
Instructions:
Prepare the Base:
✻ In a food processor, combine roughly chopped dates, almonds and your oats. Blitz until the mixture forms a soft, moist consistency. If the mixture seems a bit dry, add small amounts of water until the desired consistency is achieved.
Shape the Cups:
✻ Press the mixture firmly into mini muffin patties, creating a solid base for your peanut butter cups.
Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:
✻ In a bowl, mix the peanut butter (smooth or crunchy) with a pinch of salt and the melted coconut oil until well combined. Spoon a small amount onto each prepared base, adjusting to your preference for peanut butter goodness.
Top with Chocolate:
✻ Melt the chocolate drops and either drizzle or spoon it over the peanut butter layer. For even distribution, use a skewer to gently spread the chocolate.
Chill and Set:
✻ Place the assembled peanut butter cups in the refrigerator and allow them to set for at least 2 hours to achieve an ideal consistency and crunch.
Store in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
