# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1/4 tsp salt (sea or regular)
02 - 1 cup dark chocolate (85% or more), chopped up
03 - 1 tbsp crushed cashews or almonds
04 - 1/2 cup almond butter or cashew butter
05 - 1/2 tsp vanilla

# Instructions:

01 - Place 8-10 mini liners into a small muffin tray.
02 - Pop the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between until silky smooth.
03 - Drop 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each mini liner and swirl it around to coat the bottom. Freeze for 5 minutes so it hardens.
04 - Grab a small bowl and combine your almond or cashew butter, vanilla, and salt.
05 - Scoop about 1/2 teaspoon of the nut butter mix onto each chocolate base. Press it down gently to make a flat top.
06 - Cover the nut butter with the rest of the melted chocolate, leaving no filling uncovered.
07 - Throw on some crushed cashews or almonds for an extra touch.
08 - Pop the tray in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, or until everything's solid. Keep them in the fridge or freezer for later.

# Notes:

01 - Pick dark chocolate with at least 85% cocoa to keep sugar levels much lower than store-bought chocolate treats.
02 - Store these in an airtight box in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for as long as 2 months.
03 - If frozen, let sit for 5 minutes at room temperature before eating for the best experience.
