Almond Butter Cups

---

I saw a recipe for making your own peanut butter cups with almond butter a few weeks back on the blog edible perspective (http://www.edibleperspective.com/2012/02/chocolate-maple-cinnamon-almond-butter-cups/) and decided to try them out using my home-made vanilla almond butter. They came out so great, i cant wait to try other variations (like e.g. A coffee mocha version or white chocolate). Feel free to add your own twist to this by using different nut butters, chocolates and if you like toppings or flavourings.

Steps

---

Mix vanilla extract and salt into your almond butter.

---

Using a teaspoon make six flat roundish patties of almond butter.

---

Set aside.

---

Fill 1 and 1 / 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate into each of six cavities of a silicone muffin mold.

---

Place one of the almond butter patties on top of each chocolate puddle.

---

Top that with another 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate each smoothing out the tops and making sure that the almond butter is covered.

---

Place in the fridge until hardened.

---

Pop out of the muffin tin and enjoy.
