1 cup almond butter

½ cup coconut oil, melted

¼ cup cocoa powder

¼ cup maple syrup or honey

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup dark chocolate chips

¼ cup chopped almonds (for topping, optional)

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

    Line a muffin tin with paper liners (for standard size or mini, depending on your preference).

      Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the almond butter mixture into each liner, filling them about halfway. Use the back of a spoon to press down gently.

        Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the almond butter layer is firm.

          While the base layer is freezing, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between until smooth.

            Remove the muffin tin from the freezer and carefully pour the melted chocolate over the almond butter layer, filling each cup to the top.

              If desired, sprinkle chopped almonds on top of the chocolate for added texture and crunch.

                Return the muffin tin to the freezer for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.

                  Once set, remove the cups from the freezer, and peel away the paper liners.
