DARK CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and 5 tablespoons of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Add the vanilla and stir until combined. The mixture should be smooth and pourable.
• Pour ½ of the chocolate mixture into the molds, enough to cover the bottom of the mold and come about ⅓ of the way up the sides. Freeze for 15 minutes.
• In another microwave safe bowl, mix together the peanut butter, honey, and remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and pourable.
• Pour the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chocolate layers in the molds. Make sure to leave enough room for the second layer of chocolate. Freeze for 10 minutes.
• Pour the remaining chocolate on top of the peanut butter layer, up to the rims of the molds. Wipe off any excess that spills over the edges. If desired, sprinkle the cups with hemp hearts for added crunch. Freeze for 1 hour, until set, then pop out of the molds.
• The cups will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
• Enjoy!

DARK CHOCOLATE WALNUT BUTTER CUPS

Steps:

• Line the holes of the muffin tin with paper cases and set aside. Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3.
• Spread the walnuts out in a single layer on a baking tray and roast for 12-15 mins, or until fragrant and slightly darker in colour. Tip into a small food processor and blitz in 1-min bursts, scraping down the sides between each burst. When you have a buttery, mostly smooth paste, the walnut butter is ready - this may take 5-10 mins. You don't want it to be completely smooth, as it will become too runny to fill the cups.
• Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Alternatively, do this in the microwave in 30-second bursts. Spoon 1 tsp chocolate into each case, then freeze for 10 mins before adding a spoonful of walnut butter. Push in a few pieces of chopped date, then spoon over the remaining melted chocolate. Freeze for at least another 30 mins, or until the chocolate is firm (the walnut centre will remain gooey), then transfer to a freezerproof container. Will keep frozen for up to a month.

SALTED DARK CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

Steps:

• Place (12) paper or foil liners in the cavities of a standard muffin tin.
• Fill a large saute pan with 2 inches of water and bring to a simmer for your double boiler. Place half of the chocolate chips and 2 teaspoons of coconut oil in a heat proof bowl. Place the bowl of chocolate into the simmering water and stir until melted.
• Using a cookie scoop, evenly divide the chocolate between each liner and rap on the counter a few times to evenly distribute over the bottom of the liner. Freeze for 15 minutes.
• Heat the peanut butter in the microwave for just a seconds to soften slightly and make it spreadable (if necessary). Using a cookie scoop or teaspoon, divide between each liner and spread over the top of the chocolate layer.
• Melt the remaining chocolate and coconut oil in your double boiler using the same heat proof bowl. Divide evenly among the liners and rap on the counter until the chocolate covers the peanut butter layer. Sprinkle with the flaky sea salt and chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes or in the refrigerator until set.

72% CACAO DARK CHOCOLATE NUT BUTTER CUPS

Steps:

• Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
• In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt 3/4 cup of Ghirardelli 72% Cacao Dark Chocolate Chips, by heating in microwave at 30 second increments and stirring in between, until completely melted.
• Add remaining 1/4 cup of Ghirardelli 72% Cacao Dark Chocolate Chips to melted chocolate and stir. Set this aside to cool slightly while preparing the filling.
• In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter, vanilla extract, salt, and powdered sugar or sweetener of choice. Set aside.
• If the Ghirardelli 72% Cacao Dark Chocolate Chips haven't fully melted, return to microwave and heat in 5 second increments, stirring in between, until smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
• Spoon about 2 teaspoons' worth of melted chocolate into the bottom of the paper liner. Gently tilt and swirl chocolate to coat the bottom and 3/4 inch up the sides of the paper liner. Repeat with remaining paper liners and place in fridge until chocolate is set, about 5 minutes.
• Add about 2 teaspoons of peanut butter filling into the cavity of each chocolate cup, spread to form an even layer.
• Add another 2 teaspoons of chocolate on top of peanut butter and tap gently to spread chocolate over peanut butter. Sprinkle with sea salt and return to fridge for 10 to 15 minutes until chocolate is set.
