Raw chocolate peanut butter cups

Just as promised … today we’re going to make chocolate!

First off, I have to admit, Erik is the chocolate master in our house {and I don’t mind a bit}. His latest creation is peanut butter cups and they are awesome! Get out of the way, Reese’s, you are not needed here.

Raw Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

The ingredients are few, and the end result is amazing.

Ingredients:
-- 1 C raw cacao butter
-- 1/2 C raw cacao powder
-- 1/2 C raw agave nectar

Directions:
-- Shred the cacao butter.
-- Melt the shredded cacao butter by putting it in bowl and putting this bowl in a bigger bowl full of warm water (if you don’t care about it being “raw” you can just heat it up on the stove top)
-- After it’s melted, add the dry cacao powder and agave. Mix well.
-- Pour about 1/3 of the chocolate mixture into cupcake liners and stick the cupcake sheet in the freezer for a few minutes until slightly frozen. Set aside the remaining melted chocolate while the 1/3 mixture is in the freezer.
-- Add dollops of peanut butter (or insides of choice) on the frozen chocolate, and then add the rest of the melted chocolate over top.
-- Store in freezer, and enjoy whenever desired! (This chocolate melts very quickly since it’s raw).

The finished product:

I think Erik should be a chocolatier!
