Ingredients

  • 3/4 Cup + 2 Tablespoons Smooth Natural Peanut Butter (ideally, use the runny part)
  • 1/2 Cup Peanut Powder or Fine Almond Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • 12 Ounces Vegan Chocolate (I used a mix of 100% cacao and semi-sweet chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Line a mini muffin tin with mini muffin liners.
  2. Whisk together the peanut butter, peanut powder, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  3. Roll the peanut butter mixture into 24 half-tablespoon sized discs.
  4. Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is smooth.
  5. Measure a tablespoon of chocolate into a muffin cup. Press a peanut butter disc inside the chocolate and smooth the top, adding a drop of additional chocolate if necessary. Repeat with the remaining discs, filling the muffin tin.
  6. Freeze for 15-20 minutes, until solid. Serve and enjoy!
