Ingredients (Serves 6+)
Almond Butter Layer:
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil, melted

Choc Layer:
- 1/4 cup raw cacao

Method
- Line a muffin tray with muffin cases and set aside.
- To make the almond butter layer, add all ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine. Pour into the muffin cases and transfer to the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up.
- To make the choc layer, add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk well to combine. Pour chocolate over the almond butter layer and return to the fridge to firm.
- Best eaten straight out of the fridge or freezer where they can be stored.
Alternatively you can use any type of mould tray, as long as it is deep enough to add the two layers.

I’m excited to try this, I’ve always been a fan of Reese Cups.
For the almond layer I am considering adding 1 tablespoon of dried peanut butter powder; I like the texture it delivers, seems like the consistency found in the Reese filling that I admire.
My husband dislikes chocolate desserts, it would be awesome to feature a future recipe where Chocolate or cocoa isn’t used. Thanks~
