Healthy Easy Peanut Butter Cups

For the bars

- 3/4 cups peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons organic coconut oil (melted/liquid)

For the topping

- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons organic coconut oil (melted/liquid)

Feel free to exchange peanut butter with organic as well as maple syrup.

These need to stay in the fridge otherwise they will lose their shape.

For the bars
Step 1 Combine the peanut butter, maple syrup and liquid coconut oil (melt if needed) in a medium size bowl and stir until well combined.

Drop a spoonful at a time into silicone muffin cups until they are approximately 1/2 full.
Put them into the freezer for at least 15 minutes or until hardened.

For the topping
Step 2 Combine the raw cacao, maple syrup and liquid coconut oil (melt if needed) in a medium size bowl and stir until well combined.

Drop a spoonful at a time on top of the frozen/hardened peanut butter in the silicone muffin cups.
Put them into the freezer for at least 15 minutes or until hardened.

Step 3 Keep in the freezer until served because they will melt and lose their shape at room temperature if the coconut oil begins to melt.

Serving Size: Makes 12 or 24 if making them smaller (or with mini tins)

Number of Servings: 12
