Prep: 10 minCook: 1 hrTotal: 59 minute
Servings: 15 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon refined coconut oil
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar (coconut nectar, honey, or maple syrup also works)
- 1 tablespoon blanched almond flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- couple pinches of sea salt
- optional: flaked sea salt and sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for serving
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until it’s smooth.
- Add the coconut oil to the chocolate and stir until it’s drizzly and well incorporated.
- I place my molds on a baking sheet or cutting board to keep them flat and easily transferrable to the fridge.
- Add a little drizzle to the candy cup molds.
- Then, use a chopstick or toothpick or handle side of a spoon to press the chocolate up the walls and really coat the bottom and sides of the mold with the chocolate.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter agave nectar, almond flour pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt. Add about 1/2 – 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture into each chocolate cup, leaving some room to top it off with chocolate.
- Add some chocolate on top of the peanut butter center to cover it with chocolate.
- Place the cups in the fridge for at least 1 hour so the chocolate can harden. I love putting it into the fridge because although the chocolate hardens, the pumpkin pie peanut butter still stays nice and smooth and gooey.
- Once you’re ready to eat them, pop them out of the silicone molds and enjoy.
- Optional: sprinkle each with flaked sea salt and a small pinch of pumpkin pie spice
- Store in the fridge.
