WHAT YOU NEED medjool dates natural peanut butter almond flour dark or semisweet chocolate coconut oil flaky sea salt
1. Line a cupcake tin with 12 paper liners. 2. Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blitz until it forms a thick dough. 3. Scoop out the dough using a tablespoon, but only scoop just short of a full tablespoon. Flatten into small patties that are just a hair smaller than the diameter of the bottom of the cupcake liners. You should be left with 12-14 patties. Place them on a plate and set aside.
Peanut Butter Filling
4. In a heat-safe bowl, add all of the ingredients and microwave in 30 seconds intervals until smooth. Stir between each interval. It should only take about 90 seconds total. 5. Fill the base of each liner with a spoonful of chocolate, gently spreading it so that it completely covers the bottom of the liner. 6. Once all liners are filled, lay the peanut butter patties into the center of each liner. Gently press down but don’t let it touch the bottom.
Chocolate
7. Cover the cups with another spoonful of chocolate and give the pan a gentle shake and tap to level out. 8. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour or until completely set. If using sea salt, sprinkle on top when the cups are halfway through chilling. 9. Peel back the paper while the cups are still firm and cold. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature for a more Reese’s-like texture.
