Quick candy!
I love this, super easy, and unbelievably delicious.
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp natural peanut butter (I use a honey roasted peanut butter from a local farm thats delicious! But any peanut butter will do really)
- 3 tbsp coconut oil (I use extra virgin coconut oil, I believe any coconut oil will be fine)
- Officially 1 tsp maple syrup. Unofficially, i just drizzle a tiny amount, i didnt want it to be over powering but still wanted sweetness. Also i used Vermont maple syrup.
- Dark chocolate for drizzling
Directions:
- Place the peanut butter in a small bowl, preferably one with a spout to pour.
- There are two options how to proceed: (a) warm the coconut oil in the microwave and mix with the peanut butter in order to utilize candy molds or (b) mix the coconut oil at room temperature and use a pastry bag to make chips
- Add the maple syrup for desired sweetness.
- Depending on your previous choice, either fill a candy mold or using a pastry bag with a tip-press out bite-size pieces onto wax paper.
- Place in freezer, for at least 20 minutes, the set very quickly.
- Remove and set on wax paper then drizzle with chocolate as desired. Return to fridge or freezer (I prefer the freezer so they stay completely solid)
