1 ¼ cup coconut oil
¾ cup cocoa powder
4 tbsp honey
3 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup nut butter (we used peanut butter)
salt to taste
Line a muffin tin or mini-muffin tin with paper cupcake liners and set aside. In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of coconut oil over low heat until melted. Add cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon honey, and 2 tsp vanilla and whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness as you prefer. Coat the bottom of each cupcake liner with a thin layer of chocolate mixture and coat cups’ sides. Set the remaining chocolate aside.
In a second saucepan, heat the remaining ¼ cup of the coconut oil over low heat until melted. Whisk in the nut butter, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp vanilla extract and salt until smooth. Spoon a small amount of nut butter over the chocolate layer in each muffin cup.
Pour a thin layer of the chocolate over the nut butter layer until it is completely covered. Place in freezer until solid. Store the cups in the freezer when not eating them.

These sound sooo good! I noticed that the ingredients include 4 tbsp of honey, and the recipe states to use 1 tbsp of honey for the chocolate. But then for the filling it says to use maple syrup, with no mention of the remaining honey.
Just curious if there’s a mix-up, as I’d love to try making these sometime.

I think where it says “adjust sweetness accordingly “ it’s giving you the option of adding extra honey, up to 4 tbsp.
Sounds delicious, I may have to try this recipe myself.
