How to Make Almond Butter Cups

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon salt with 1 cup of homemade vanilla almond butter. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
  2. Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, form six small, flat almond butter patties.
  3. Set the almond butter patties aside.
  4. Melt 6 ounces of your favorite chocolate (dark, milk, or white) according to package directions.
  5. Fill each cavity of a six-cavity silicone muffin mold with 1 1/2 teaspoons of melted chocolate.
  6. Place one almond butter patty on top of each chocolate puddle.
  7. Top each almond butter patty with another 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate, ensuring the almond butter is completely covered and the top is smooth.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely hardened.
  9. Gently pop the almond butter cups out of the muffin tin and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
