Will definitely make this from now on, I hate all the added sugars and palm oil (bad for the environment) in my store bought chocolates. Used melted butter and honey and it still came out awesome. My natural pb already had sugar and salt so I omitted it. Lastly, I used silicone ice cube trays since I don’t have cupcake liners and they popped out nicely. Thank you for sharing your recipe :)

I just made this recipe and my chocolate turned out firm too, almost like a fudge or dough consistency. I think the trick is that you really need to make sure that the coconut oil is warm. Put it into a bowl and then slowly stir in the cocoa powder until it is mixed in. Then add the maple syrup and vanilla. I ended up doing this the second time around and it was smooth and was more like melted chocolate. So my PB cups had firm chocolate on the bottom and on top was the second batch of chocolate I made that I could pour on top. I think the first time I just put everything thing in the bowl as it was listed in the recipe so it went hard instead of a smooth more liquid texture. These PB cups are good but if you are use to the store bought or other homemade PB cups that have tons of icing sugar in them, then they’ll take some getting use to. Definitely a more healthier version of a PB cup. My hubby and kids were not overly fond of them. I’d eat them as a treat once in a while or if I needed something for someone who had dietary restrictions.

Let them sit out on the counter for a few minutes. THey’re firm from the cold.

You’re so right, Zana! My nutrition calculator doesn’t automatically divide by serving sizes :( I’m going through all 800 recipes on my site and manually doing this. Send help LOL

It gave me quite a startle when the healthy cups were listed as almost 3,000 calories each. ;)

So yummy!

I’ve always loved PB cups but I just got this wild ass idea. What about cashew butter or almond butter? Have you ever tried using either? Gotta calculate the possible carbs……

Love the chocolate math you did. Makes sense! And I agree with you, I have so much respect for store-bought candy–it’s incredible if you actually think about it. Also thanks for calling me cool!
