Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup cashew nuts
  • 1 tbl butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
  • 3 cups dark chocolate chips
  • Mini cupcake wrappers
  • 1/8 cup caramel ice cream topping
  • Coarse Salt

Instruction

  • Start by adding the nuts to a food processor and grind until reaches a peanut butter consistency. This usually takes about 5 minutes.
  • Add in the butter and sugar and mix to combine. The peanut butter will be thick.
  • Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl for two minutes. Stir the chocolate after each 30 second burst until completely melted.
  • Line a mini muffin pan with the mini paper wrappers.
  • Spoon the melted chocolate into each wrapper, filling 1/3 of the way up.
  • Spoon a small amount of peanut butter (about 1/2 tsp) and form it into a small disc. Place it on top of the chocolate already in the wrappers.
  • Spoon enough chocolate over the peanut butter to come up the sides and cover the peanut butter completely.
  • When all cups are filled, slightly jiggle the pan to even out the tops of the cups.
  • Place in refrigerator and let chill at least 1 hour.
  • Once chilled, drizzle a bit of caramel over the Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and sprinkle a light bit of course salt over the top.
