Ever since I was a little kid, my absolute favorite candy has been a peanut butter cup. Unwrapping the cup from the tight white wrapper and taking that first sharp bite of deliciousness always brings me back to Halloween from my childhood. I still love a classic PB cup, but I also love putting a new twist on the classic sweet. These homemade vanilla cashew butter cups are salty, sweet, and nutty and hit the spot every single time. They’re made with only 5 ingredients and are easy to whip up on a whim!
What You’ll Need:
Muffin Tin
Muffin Wrappers
Spoons
Microwave Safe Bowls
Ingredients:
½ cup Cashew Butter
1 Chocolate Bar or 1 cup of Chocolate Chips
¼ cup Coconut Oil
¼ cup Honey
1 dash of Vanilla Extract
Flakey Salt for topping (optional)
Preparation:
Step 1: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave. Microwave in 20-second increments until it is a liquid.
Step 2: In another bowl, mix together cashew butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are homogenous.
Step 3: Line the muffin tin with your muffin wrappers.
Step 4: Carefully pour a layer of your chocolate coconut oil mixture into the muffin tins. Place in the freezer until the chocolate has hardened. When the chocolate has hardened, place a spoonful of your cashew butter honey mixture on top of your chocolate bottom. After the cashew butter is in, pour the rest of your melted chocolate on top of the cashew butter. You may need to reheat the chocolate mixture before the second chocolate pour.
Step 5: Place back in the freezer until all the chocolate has hardened.
Step 6 (optional): Take out of the freezer. Sprinkle with flakey salt, and enjoy! Store in a Tupperware in the fridge or freezer. Best enjoyed with a glass of hot tea, coffee, or milk!
