Instructions

  1. Add chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until chocolate is smooth and melted.
  2. Using a silicon mini muffin tray or any silicon candy mold tray, fill approximately 8 mini cups with a spoonful of chocolate.
  3. Turn tray upside down over the bowl of chocolate and gently tap to remove excess chocolate, leaving a thin layer of chocolate in each mold.
  4. Set unused chocolate aside and keep warm for later. Place chocolate mold in freezer for at least 20 minutes for chocolate to solidify.
  5. Once chocolate is set, place a small spoonful of almond butter in each mold as needed to fill.
  6. Spoon a little more melted chocolate over almond butter to seal each cup, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on each and return to freezer for at least 30 minutes to set up.
  7. For serving, remove almond butter cups from molds and serve.
  8. Chef's Note: Almond butter cups will keep frozen for up to a month in a freezer bag, simply allow to thaw slightly before serving.
