6 tbsp almond butter (or peanut butter)
2 tbsp coconut oil (melted - for this recipe I prefer neutral flavor of refined coconut oil)
1⅓ tbsp maple syrup
½ cup chocolate chips
3 tbsp coconut oil
sea salt (for sprinkling - I used Makai Deep Sea Salt)

In a small bowl, combine almond butter, 2 tablespoons coconut oil and maple syrup.
Stir with a fork until well-combined and then pour 1 tablespoon into 8 muffin cups that have been lined with parchment paper cups. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 10 minutes.
After the first layer has been in the freezer for about 10 minutes, begin warming the chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons of coconut oil over low heat.
When melted, remove the muffin tin from the freezer and place a tablespoon of the chocolate mixture into each cup. You may have a little left over after doing this - if that's the case, just divide the remaining liquid between the cups.
Place the muffin tin back in the freezer and allow it to harden for at least 20 minutes, then sprinkle with salt and serve. If the cups have been in for several days or weeks, you may want to allow them to warm for a few minutes before eating. Enjoy!
