Recipe: Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

My husband loves Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but I am not always comfortable about giving him all that crap that's in them. So while I was reading The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone, I came across a Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup recipe. I made them for the first time and I think they turned out very well. They were actually easy to make. So I figured I would share the recipe with you guys. I modified the recipe to fit my needs; you can do this one or stick to the original. 

What you will need:

 ~ 1/2 cup Earth Balance vegan butter

~ 3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter

~ 1/4 cup maple agave nectar 

~ 1 cup vegan chocolate chips

~ 1/4 cup almond milk 

~ 2 large spoons 

~ 2 pots 

~ Muffin tin 

~ Muffin liners

In one saucepan combine the Earth Balance butter, crunchy peanut butter and maple agave nectar and stir on medium heat until fully combined. To the muffin tin lined with the liners add small, even amounts of the peanut butter mixture until the mixture is gone. In the second pot combine the almond milk and chips together on medium, stirring constantly until mixed thoroughly together. Then to the tops of the peanut butter mixture add small amounts of chocolate. Once complete put the tin in the fridge for at least 2 hours so it will set. 

Once it has set take out of the fridge and enjoy! These are so good and not nearly as bad for you as other chocolate peanut butter cups. I hope if you try these you love them, and have a wonderful day!
