Allergy-Friendly Chocolate SunButter Cups
MAKES 12 CANDIES
A Kid-Favorite Candy
These allergy-friendly candies are fun to prepare with your children. Make up a big batch before your party and store them in the refrigerator. Expect a few to disappear in the process!
1 (10-ounce) bag + ½ cup Enjoy Life Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
¼ cup sunflower seed butter
- mini cupcake pan
12 mini muffin liners
1. Line a mini cupcake pan with 12 mini-muffin liners.
2. Melt chocolate chips in microwave at 30-second increments, stirring with a wooden spoon until just melted and smooth. Do not over-heat, as chocolate burns easily.
3. Spoon 1½ teaspoons melted chocolate into the bottom of each mini-muffin liner. Top with 1 teaspoon sunflower seed butter and then 1½ teaspoons chocolate.
4. Refrigerate until set.

I make something very similar to these. Try adding some powdered sugar and a pinch of sea salt to the sunbutter until it forms a playdough like texture. Then it's easy to roll into balls, squish them into disks, and use that to flatten out the small spoonful of melted chocolate in the cupcake liner. Spoon more chocolate on top and spread with the spoon until it meets the edges. Refrigerate or freeze until set. I think it's easiest to work with full size cupcake liners/pan. Very close to the old familiar peanut butter cup. Delicious!

These are a bit time consuming... however... they really are simple and something weird happens because it took so long to make and time to wait to ... set I have had 1 since I made them 24 hrs ago. The thing about this is it isn't an instant snack so making it at 1400 to inhale by 1500 just isn't going to happen. Thank you for such a simple lovely treat.

I don't feel this should be listed under "snacks", as this should only be a treat and not used as a Snack at any time.
