INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a bowl, combine the sunflower seed butter, almond butter, raw honey, and melted coconut oil.
   • Mix the ingredients well until smooth and thoroughly combined.
2. Assemble the Cups:
   • Line a muffin tin with paper or silicone muffin cups.
   • Place a spoonful of the “Peanut” butter filling mixture into each muffin cup, spreading it out to form the bottom layer.
   • Refrigerate the muffin tin to set the bottom layer.
3. Prepare the Superfoods Chocolate:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cacao powder, raw honey, and melted coconut oil.
   • Mix until you have a smooth and glossy chocolate mixture.
4. Add the Chocolate Layer:
   • Remove the muffin tin from the refrigerator.
   • Spoon a layer of the Superfoods chocolate mixture over the “peanut” butter filling in each muffin cup. Spread it evenly to cover the filling.
5. Freeze and Enjoy:
   • Place the muffin tin in the freezer to allow the chocolate layer to set. This will take about 30 minutes to an hour.
   • Once the chocolate is firm, remove the cups from the muffin tin.
   • Enjoy your homemade Superfoods Peanut Butter Cups straight from the freezer.
