Mini peanut butter cups

Last night I tried out this recipe and I have to say it is quite possibly one of the easiest and most tasty 'good for you desserts/snacks' I have come across thus far.  I found the recipe here on Joe Cross's website called 'Reboot with Joe'.  He is the brains behind the phenomenally successful documentary 'Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead'.  It is so easy to make and only uses 4 ingredients.  Even my husband said they were good and he is one of my harshest critics!  All of these ingredients you can get at your local health food store.  Make sure you get the real thing though, don't settle for cheap substitutes which will only compromise your health.  If you take the time to use the correct ingredients you will not only have a tasty dessert snack on your hands but one that is doing you some good too!...how about that!

Here is the recipe:-

Mini peanut butter cups


Ingredients:1/2 cup cacao powder
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup all natural, organic peanut butter* (or almond butter or cashew butter)
12 mini cupcake wrappers

Directions:1.) Mix cacao powder, coconut oil, and maple syrup in a small bowl until a smooth consistency is formed.
2.) Place a small spoonful of the chocolate into the bottom of the cupcake wrappers.
3.) Add a small scoop of peanut butter to the chocolate and spread evenly.
4.) Top the peanut butter with a small scoop of the chocolate and spread evenly to coat the surface.
5.) Place the mini Peanut Butter Cups in the freezer.
6.) Serve once they are hardened and chilled (about 1 hour).
7.) If you are storing them to eat later, store in the freezer.
