No-Bake Vegan Peanut Butter Cups

Simple Vegan Peanut Butter Cups Recipe

Once you go vegan, you have to say goodbye to some foods you might really love.

Luckily, there's usually a way to replicate that same taste without any of the animal byproducts.


Everyone loves Reece's Peanut Butter Cups but for vegans, they'll have to pass. Unless they make their own delicious vegan-version of this sweet treat.

Here's our recipe for No-Bake Vegan Peanut Butter Cups.

Recipe sourced from here

Ingredients


  • 1 cup chocolate chips

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

  • ¼ cup natural peanut butter


Directions


  • Line a mini muffin tin with 12 mini cupcake/muffin liners.

  • In your microwave or over a pot of boiling water, melt your chocolate chips. Add the coconut oil to help to thin it out (it'll also help to solidify the chocolate in a bite-able texture).

  • Spoon a little bit of melted chocolate into each of the muffin liners, spreading a thin layer up the edges of the liners. This will ensure the peanut butter is encased in the chocolate.



  • Put in the fridge for about 5 minutes to set slightly.

  • Remove from fridge and divide peanut butter equally throughout the 12 liners. Dollop a little bit over the chocolate into the middle.



  • Top each liner with the remaining chocolate to cover. Top with a little sea salt if you desire.

  • Set in the fridge for 30 more minutes to set.



  • Remove and enjoy!

Fiddlehead season is here! After a long winter, fiddlehead season has finally arrived. Not familiar with fiddleheads or just want to learn a bit more about them, and how to cook them safely? Keep reading! You may have seen fiddleheads in the wild and not even realized it. That's because they are the furled fronds of a fledgling fern! The fiddlehead is the spiral of the plant that would unroll into a new frond of the fern plant. They are harvested before they unfurl, early in the season. Only the fiddleheads from certain fern varieties are safe to consume. Fiddleheads should never be eaten raw and must be cooked a certain way to be safe to eat, so be sure to follow the instructions below. Fiddleheads have been part of traditional diets in Northern France since the Middle Ages, and amongst many North American Indigenous populations for centuries. They are also popular in Asian cuisine dishes like gulai pakis.
