Peanut (Almond) Butter Cups

I got this recipe idea from the cooking God's way website...they are so yummy! The only problem is that you might just eat the whole batch in one day! Let me preface this by saying that these are still a treat but they are a much better option than your typical store bought version!

4 squares unsweetened chocolate
3-4 tbsp raw honey
1 tbsp coconut oil

1/3 cup almond butter (I also made some with peanut butter as a treat)
2 tbsp raw honey
1 tbsp coconut oil
Sea salt (if desired)

1. First, begin melting two squares of chocolate with about 2 tbsp raw honey and 1/2 tbsp coconut oil.
2. While the chocolate mixture is melting, mix up the almond butter mixture in another bowl.
3. Fill muffin cups just slightly with the chocolate mixture (I got 9 out of this much). Place them in the freezer for about 10-12 minutes or until they harden slightly.
4. Pull the muffin cups out and place a layer of almond butter mixture on top of the chocolate mixture. Place in the freezer for another 10 minutes or until they start to harden.
5. While they freeze, place the other two chocolate squares, honey, and coconut oil in the pan and melt together (if you don't melt it separately it will thicken and you cannot use it).
6. Once the almond butter mixture is somewhat hard, remove from freezer and cover with a thin layer of chocolate.
7. Finally, freeze again for about 30 minutes or until solid. These can be stored in the fridge or freezer until eaten! Enjoy!
