Calories: 117kcal

Ingredients

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (try a Paleo friendly brand like Enjoy Life or Equal Exchange)
1/4 cup Coffee Booster
2 tsp Coffee Booster
1/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup coconut sugar or maple syrup
pinch sea salt
1/4 tsp almond extract

Instructions

Line a mini muffin tin with 24 paper cups.
In a medium bowl, stir together 1/4 cup Coffee Booster, 1/4 cup almond butter, 1/4 cup coconut sugar or maple syrup, salt, and almond extract. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 2 cups of chocolate chips with 2 tsp of Coffee Booster for 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is shiny and almost all of the chips are melted. Stir to make it smooth.
Spoon about half of the melted chocolate equally into the 24 cups.
Drop a small spoonful of the almond buttercream mixture into each cup.
Spoon the remaining melted chocolate on top of the filling, smoothing it over evenly or drizzling it over top (easier & less stressful).
Place the cups into the freezer until set. Store in the freezer, taking a serving out to thaw about 2-3 minutes before eating. Enjoy!

Notes

If you want these to look like a perfect Reese's peanut butter cup with a solid chocolate layer on top, make sure you press your first layer of chocolate up the sides of the cups just a bit - making a small hole for the filling. Smooth enough chocolate over top of the filling to cover it up.
