Ingredients

  • 3 cups vegan chocolate chips, divided (semi-sweet or dark)
  • cups unsweetened almond butter
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • sea salt flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Melt 1½ cups of chocolate chips in a double boiler. If you don't have a double boiler you can place a glass or stainless steel bowl in a pot of hot water so that the bottom of the bowl is resting in the water. Stir chocolate chips until they are melted.
  • Use either silicon molds or liners placed in a muffin tin.
  • Place about a tbsp of the melted chocolate into each of 12 compartments. Make sure that the chocolate is touching all sides.
  • Place the tray (s) into the freezer for about 15 minutes to set.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the almond butter, maple syrup and nutritional yeast until combined.
  • Place the other 1½ cups of chocolate chips into the double boiler and melt.
  • Remove the trays from the freezer. Divide the almond butter mixture amongst the 12 cups (about 2 ½ tbsps per cup .
  • Top with the remaining chocolate (about a heaping tbsp in each cup). You can also sprinkle with a few flakes of sea salt if desired.
  • Place back in the freezer to set - at least 15 minutes.
  • You can remove the almond butter cups and place in a storage container.
  • Place them back in the freezer for storage and remove as required as the chocolate will get very soft if left out.
