RAW VEGAN MINI PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

These are my raw, gourmet and SIMPLE version of the beloved Reese's Peanut Butter Cup! I will say these are quite rich and you may find you are satisfied with just a half.  That's the beauty of raw desserts as they leave you satisfied without weighing you down.  Enjoy!  YIELDS: 12 mini cups



INGREDIENTS:

1 12 mini cupcake tin
12 mini cupcake wrappers
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 cup coconut syrup ( I have not tried these with other liquid sweeteners)
3/4 cup cacao powder (If you want a less rich, chocolate taste use 1/2 cup)
12 teaspoons balled natural peanut butter
1 Tbsp vanilla
Flaked Sea Salt (aka Fleur De Sel) to sprinkle on top







Line muffin tin with liners.  Either melt coconut oil on low heat over double boiler if you are a true raw foodist or in the microwave in a measuring cup.  Then add coconut syrup, cacao powder and vanilla.  Stir vigorously until well combined and all lumps are gone.  Fill each liner halfway with liquid cacao.  Then add 1 balled peanut butter to each cup pushing slightly down on it.  Then pour remaining cacao over each cup up to the top.  Sprinkle each cup with a pinch of flaked salt and put in fridge.  If you have absolutely no patience they will be set in a half an hour but best to wait an hour!  Store in fridge or freezer.
