Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups ( VEGAN)

This recipe is from Alicia Silverstone’s book the Kind Diet. It is the most amazing dessert ever!

Here is here healthy version. Look for graham crackers that are naturally sweetened or low in sugar ( Health Valley).

Makes 12

1/2 cup Earth Balance Butter

3/4 crunchy peanut butter ( preferably unsweetened

and unsalted) Note: I used peanut butter and cashew butter

3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs or 10 graham cracker squares

1/4 maple sugar or other granulated sweetener ( I used Rice Syrup)

1 cup grain-sweetened, nondairy chocolate or carob chips

1/4 cup soy, rice, or nut milk

1/4 cup chopped pecans, almonds, or peanuts

Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. ( If you care makes unbleached liners made from recycled paper.) set aside.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, and maple sugar and mix well. Remove the mixture from the heat. Evenly divide the mixture, approximately 2 tablespoons per cup, among the muffin cups.

Combine the chocolate and milk in another pan. Stir over medium heat until the chocolate has melted. Spoon the chocolate over the peanut butter mixture. Top with chopped nuts. Place in refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours before serving.

Note: I burned mine a bit and they still came out fab!! YUMMY:)
