Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Pumpkin Butter Cups
Makes 12 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (1 10 oz pkg) dark chocolate chips
- 2 tsp. coconut oil
- 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter (can use almond butter)
- 3 Tbsp. Adams Apple Co. Pumpkin Butter
- 1 tsp. honey or pure maple syrup
- Coarse sea salt for sprinkling on top
Instructions:
Place muffin liners in a 12-cup muffin tin and set aside
Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a small pan of simmering hot water (double boiler method). Slowly melt while making sure simmering water is not touching the bottom of the bowl. Place 2 tsp. of chocolate into each muffin cup, gently pushing it a little way up the sides of the cups for a good base. Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
In the meantime, mix together the peanut butter, pumpkin butter, and honey in a small bowl. Remove the tin from the freezer and drop about 1 tbsp of pumpkin mixture into the center of each chocolate cup. Top each cup evenly with the remaining melted chocolate and let sit for a few minutes before sprinkling with sea salt.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 3 months. Enjoy!
