Ingredients
  • 1 12 oz.bag dairy free chocolate chips, whatever flavor your prefer
  • ¼ cup cookie butter (or peanut or almond butter, etc)
  • 12 baking cups
Instructions
  1. Melt about 1 cup of the chocolate chips in microwave. Do this in 30 second increments, stirring well in between sessions until chips are fully melted and creamy.
  2. Spoon just enough melted chocolate into the baking cups to line the bottom of the cups. You do not need a lot of chocolate here, just enough to cover the bottom of the cup.
  3. Place cups in freezer for 15 minutes or until chocolate hardens.
  4. Remove from freezer. Spoon about 1 tsp of cookie butter into the middle of the chocolate disk. You can add more if youd like, but be aware it will be more difficult to cover in the next step.
  5. Spread the cookie butter as evenly as possible on the chocolate disk, without letting the butter touch the edges of the disk.
  6. Melt the rest of the chocolate using the microwave method again.
  7. Once creamy, spoon the melted chocolate onto each cookie butter topped chocolate disks. You want to make sure the cookie butter is covered and that melted chocolate reaches the edges of each disk so as to seal the butter inside.
  8. Place cookie butter cups in the fridge to set, about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container in fridge for up to 2 wks.
  9. You can probably leave them on the counter, but I prefer them in the fridge.
