Vegan Peanut Butter Cups

Oh my gosh I love this recipe! I was so excited to make this that I forgot too... I might have bought the ingredients and then I might have had to go to work then by the time I got off I was being lazy... I actually didn't get to the recipe for a week. Okay wow, this makes it seem like I didn't want to.... I did! I really did, so my next day off I made them with some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies! Just so you know that those two go very well together.  I did talk to my coworkers about it a ton... I might have annoyed them. Oh well!

Ingredients:

3/4 cups unrefined coconut oil
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/2 cup peanut butter

Directions:

1. Mix the coconut oil, cocoa powder and agave nectar together. When its well mixed it will look like melted chocolate and taste even better!

2. Scoop about 1 tablespoon into a cupcake wrapper. When I made these I pulled up the chocolate up the sides so it made a little cup. Place the cups in the fridge and let them sit for about 15 minutes.

3.  Once hardened scoop just under a tablespoon into the chocolate molds. spread it around and cover with about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate mixture, smooth and place in the fridge for another 15 minutes.

4. once hardend enjoy!

* to store keep in the fridge in an air tight container.

Rambling corner:

If you don't like coconut then this recipe isn't for you. First off if you eat some chocolate mixture when you're making these it will taste like a mounds bar.... Not bad but not the taste I wanted to get out of this. As for the peanut butter, well when I made the cookies I used all of it so when it came to my cup candies I had to use what I had which was cashew butter. It is just as good though. I minor difference.  It was a bit weird at first but I soon fell in love with these candies. Although when I make them they never turn out pretty like I want them too. The first time I didn't add enough agave to it and the second time I added powdered sugar to the mix and yeah bad idea.... It was good just a little stiff. I don't have pictures of the second ones... sorry guys. The first non- pretty ones are the only ones. I might make them again and really try and make them look pretty, then maybe I'll compare them to actual reeses. Those are probably one of my favorite candies! Incase you wanted to know... The dark chocolate ones are to die for!!! Haha!!! Anyway, I'm thinking that this chocolate mixture would be good as homemade mounds bars. I'll try and make them and get back to you guys! I hope you'll stick with me until then!!! Maybe even some almond joys!!!! I don't know... I said maybe! Haha! If you love candy as much as I do I would totally give this a try. I'm not just saying that because I want to get comments and pictures from you guys of your finished products. I want feedback on how you guys changed the recipe to make it your own. Thats basically what I do when I find a recipe. As my rambling corner comes to an end I'd like to say one more thing. Its totally random but i'm taking a few photography classes so hopefully my picture will look better!!!

As always, Ta Ta for Now,
