Raw healthy chocolate and peanut butter “cups” with only four ingredients
Ingredients: 2 to 3 tablespoons coconut flour, as needed,7 oz (200 g) dark chocolate (I used 72% dark), broken into pieces,2 tablespoons maple syrup,1 1/3 cups natural crunchy or smooth peanut butter,dash of vanilla
Instructions:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla and 2 tablespoons of the coconut flour until well blended.
- Add additional coconut flour if the peanut mixture is too soft it should be pliable and easy to form into shapes with your hands.Using a tablespoon or ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Form into balls and flatten each ball slightly with your fingers.
- Place in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes until firm.Melt the chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring often, until melted.
- Let cool for a few minutes and then dip each of the frozen peanut butter pieces into the chocolate to coat completely. Using a fork is a good way to do this and be sure to work quickly.
- Transfer each peanut butter cup back to the baking sheet and return to the freezer.
- Sprinkle with a little coarse sea salt if desired. Chill until set, about 1 hour or more. These will keep well in the freezer for several days, if they last that long.Note: You can make a half batch instead, but these are so good, you won't want to do that, especially as they keep so well.
