Chocolate Almond Butter Cups
Semisweet chocolate cups filled with a smooth, lightly sweetened almond butter center.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Place 12 paper liners in the muffin tin.
-
Step 2
Bring a shallow layer of water to a gentle simmer in the saucepan. Place the heatproof bowl over it without letting the bowl touch the water, then melt 170 gr semisweet chocolate, stirring until smooth.
-
Step 3
Divide the melted chocolate among the liners. Spread it across each base and slightly up the sides, then chill until firm.
-
Step 4
Stir the almond butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in the mixing bowl until evenly combined.
-
Step 5
Divide the almond butter filling into 12 equal portions and flatten each into a disk slightly smaller than a chocolate base.
-
Step 6
Set one filling disk in each liner, leaving a narrow border around the edge.
-
Step 7
Using the same gentle water-bath method, melt the remaining 170 gr semisweet chocolate until smooth.
-
Step 8
Spoon the melted chocolate over each filling disk and spread it to the liner edges to seal the cups.
-
Step 9
Chill the cups until completely firm, then remove them from the tin and peel away the liners.
