ALMOND BUTTER CUPS
I saw a recipe for making your own peanut butter cups with almond butter a few weeks back on the blog edible perspective (http://www.edibleperspective.com/2012/02/chocolate-maple-cinnamon-almond-butter-cups/) and decided to try them out using my home-made vanilla almond butter. They came out so great, I cant wait to try other variations (like e.g. a coffee mocha version or white chocolate). Feel free to add your own twist to this by using different nut butters, chocolates and if you like toppings or flavourings.

Steps:
- Mix vanilla extract and salt into your almond butter. Using a teaspoon make six flat roundish patties of almond butter. Set aside.
- Fill 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of melted chocolate into each of six cavities of a silicone muffin mold. Place one of the almond butter patties on top of each chocolate puddle.
- Top that with another 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate each smoothing out the tops and making sure that the almond butter is covered.
- Place in the fridge until hardened (I left mine over night). Pop out of the muffin tin and enjoy.

Tips:
- To make sure your almond butter cups are perfectly smooth, use a high-powered blender or food processor to blend the almond butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil until very smooth. - If you don't have a high-powered blender or food processor, you can also make these almond butter cups by hand. Simply mash the almond butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil together in a bowl until smooth. - To make your almond butter cups extra decadent, use a high-quality almond butter. Look for almond butter that is made with 100% almonds and no added sugar or salt. - If you don't have any chocolate chips, you can also use chopped nuts, seeds, or dried fruit in your almond butter cups. - To make your almond butter cups even more special, try dipping them in melted chocolate or drizzling them with chocolate sauce. - If you are short on time, you may omit the chocolate layer and keep the almond butter cups as a filling for any other desserts. - Storage: Keep almond butter cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
