Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Picture
This recipe is- corn free, dairy free, dessert, egg free, gluten free, grain free, low fodmap, low glycemic, nightshade free, pescatarian, pork free, snack,  soy free, vegan, vegetarian
Ingredients:  10 servings, 1 hour 15 minutes &  5  ingredients
  • 5 1/4 oz Dark Chocolate (at least 70% cacao, broken into pieces)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1/2 cup All Natural Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/8 tsp Sea Salt
Directions:
  1. Arrange paper baking cups on a plate or a small baking sheet. Set aside.
  2. Set up a double boiler: Fill a medium pot with an inch of water and place a smaller pot or heat-safe bowl on top ensuring the water is not touching the bottom of the smaller pot or bowl. The smaller pot or bowl should rest tightly on top of the pot and any water or steam should not be able to escape.
  3. Bring water to a boil then reduce to lowest heat. Add the dark chocolate and coconut oil to the smaller pot and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
  4. Divide half of the melted chocolate between the paper baking cups. There should be a thin, even layer of chocolate in each baking cup. Freeze for 10 to 15 minutes until solid.
  5. Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the peanut butter, vanilla and salt. Stir until smooth.
  6. Divide the peanut butter between the baking cups by spooning the peanut butter into the center of solid chocolate. Drizzle the remaining melted dark chocolate around and overtop the peanut butter.
  7. Return to the freezer for about 30 minutes or until solid. Enjoy!
Side Notes:
Leftovers - Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze for up to one month. Peanut Butter Cups will melt if stored at room temperature.

Serving Size - One serving is one peanut butter cup.

Nut-Free - Use sunflower seed butter instead.

Additional Toppings - Sprinkle the top of the peanut butter cups with coarse sea salt.

No Double Boiler - Microwave the dark chocolate and the coconut oil in a large glass bowl at 50% power for 30 seconds at a time until melted. Be careful not to overheat.

Cinnamon Ginger Energy Balls

Tidbits on how Cinnamon and Ginger can be beneficial and why they should be used....

Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several tree species. It has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties plus contains antioxidants with anti-inflammatory effects. It can help counteract the harmful chemicals that our body produces when we are stressed. Furthermore, cinnamon has prebiotic properties that can improve gut health along with lower blood pressure and lower blood sugar levels. Lastly it can relieve digestive discomfort especially during times of stress.

Ginger is an aromatic herb that has long been used in traditional healing systems as a natural remedy for anxiety. The presence of Gingerol, an antioxidant, helps to counteract the harmful chemicals that our body produces when we are stressed. Stress can sometimes lead to an upset stomach since the production of stomach acids crucial for digestion gets hampered.
