Can you make Peanut Butter Pieces with only almond butter? No... Just no. It's not Paleo, but it’s logical. Sweet delicious logic.

Serves: depends on your moulds approx 20
INGREDIENTS:
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons cacao butter
  • ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon Himalayan salt
  • ¼ cup almond butter
  • ¼ cup peanut butter (can use 100% almond butter or substitute for other nut butter if following a Paleo diet)
  • 1 tablespoons or maple syrup
  • Himalayan salt to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. In a double boiler (or a glass bowl over a pot of simmering water), melt coconut oil and cacao butter together.
  2. Add maple syrup and whisk to combine.
  3. When completely incorporated, remove from heat and sift in cacao and Himalayan salt.
  4. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  5. In your ice tray (I used Ikea heart trays, mini silicon muffin tins also work – basically something what will be easy to remove), put about ½ a teaspoon of chocolate in each segment. You want enough to make a thin layer and to only use approx ⅓ of the chocolate, as you will need the remaining to finish. Swirl around in the tray so the chocolate goes up the sides of the molds. Let it set a bit and repeat the swirling so you cannot see any mold through the chocolate.
  6. Place in the fridge or freezer and cool until solid, about 15 minutes.
  7. Make the nut butter filling by combining all of the ingredients. Check the seasoning – you want salty but not too salty!
  8. Once the chocolate is set, spoon the nut butter into each mold being care to keep it within the chocolate. Flatten with a spoon or fingers.
  9. Spoon the remaining liquid chocolate on top, making sure to cover the filling completely.
  10. Place in the freezer to harden for at least one hour.
  11. Removing from the Ikea ice cube trays should be quite easy – use a knife if needed, but be gentle – don’t worry though, any rejects will still taste amazing ^__^.
