Crispy Peanut Butter Cups

Last weekend I took a shot at The Edible Perspective’s Peanut Butter Crunch Cups. When I saw peanut butter, chocolate, vegan, and no random ingredients, I knew it was a must try! Although they aren’t as pretty as I’d like, these babies are the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted! And the sea salt at the top, yum-ayyy! Adding the brown rice cereal gives it that crunch and really makes these extra special.
.
These are extremely easy to make, adaptable to all your favs, and absolutely delicuous- A MUST TRY!

Ingredients
  1. Vegan chocolate chips
  2. Powdered sugar
  3. Peanut Butter
  4. Brown rice cereal
  5. Sea Salt
Directions (from The Edible Perspective)
  1. Line a muffin pan.
  2. Microwave the chocolate for 30sec increments, stirring after each 30 seconds, until smooth.
  3. Spoon a small amount, about 3/4 tsp,  into the bottom of each cup.
  4. Sprinkle with about 1/2-1tsp of cereal on top.  Lightly press into the chocolate.
  5. Place on a flat shelf in your freezer for 15 minutes.
  6. In a bowl, stir the peanut butter, powdered sugar until combined and smooth.
  7. Add 1tbl of the peanut butter mixture to each cup, keeping it centered.  No need to spread.
  8. Top each cup with about 1 1/4tsp of melted chocolate to cover the peanut butter.  I lightly spread the chocolate around with a spoon.
  9. Top with a sprinkle of sea salt, or whatever else you like.
  10. Let set in the fridge or freezer and store in a sealed container.
