Ingredients

  • 1 cup semi-sweet dairy-free chocolate chips I use President's Choice brand, but I like Enjoy Life too
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup natural smooth peanut butter just peanuts!
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegan graham cracker crumbs I used Bulk Barn Graham crackers
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter I use vegan Becel

Instructions

  • At 30 second intervals, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil. Stir until smooth. You'll only have to do this for about a minute.
  • Spoon chocolate into silicone or paper cupcake liners (paper is fine, but silicone is so much easier to peel when you're done). I used about 1 tsp per cup, maybe a titch more. Use the back of a spoon to gently press the chocolate up the sides of the liners. Ensure that the bottom is even. Repeat with all 12 liners, then let set in the freezer.
  • Meanwhile, combine peanut butter, icing sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and butter to make the filling. Spoon about 1 1/2 tsp of the mixture into the chilled chocolate cups until all the filling is evenly distributed. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to press the filling down evenly. Coat with about 1/2 tsp of chocolate (you'll use the remaining melted chocolate) and set in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
  • Once set, pop them out of the cupcake liners and enjoy!
