Mini Peanut Butter Cups

Ingredients

 * 2 tablespoons peanut butter*
 * 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
 * 6 ounces chocolate (that’s 1 cup regular-sized chocolate chips)**
 * Flaky sea salt, optional
 * You’ll need mini muffin liners, too!

Directions

 * 1) In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter and maple syrup, and stir until well blended. Fill a mini cupcake pan with liners or arrange mini cupcake liners on plate(s) like I did.
 * 2) Melt the chocolate (I did this in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each one, or you can use a double boiler on the stove).
 * 3) Fill the bottom of each cup with 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate. Add a small dollop of the peanut butter mixture in the center (about ½ teaspoon), then top it with another teaspoon of the chocolate.
 * 4) Freeze the candies for 5 minutes. Sprinkle sea salt lightly over the tops (if using), then freeze until firm, about 25 minutes more. Now they’re ready to eat!
 * 5) If you won’t be serving them all immediately, transfer them to a container or sealed bag. Store at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
