Chocolate on my mind

Who doesn't love a good piece of chocolate? 
Maybe a tiny piece of a plain Hershey bar or a bit bite of a creamy, dark chocolate with warm peanutbutter inside of it, that when you bite into it, the peanutbutter and chocolate combination makes you feel all warm inside :) 
Well, that's how I feel at least, especially when I eat something that I know that isn't good for my body, but it tastes too good to resist, a piece of chocolate that tastes sinfully good. 

Well, that's exactly what I wanted! Chocolate that made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Except for me, I want it to be healthy, good for my skin and body somewhat nutritious, with minimal ingredients ( have you READ the ingredient list on a Reese's bar? Smh ) 

I love a good challenge.
^ and I love himym ;) 

Anyway! 
So I did it people! 
I made a cleaneats,no processed food.. "FREESES CUP" 
Bare minimum ingredients were used to create this master piece...

You will need:
-cupcake pan with cupcake holders 
-pot for cooking and spoon for stirring 
- unrefined unpressed coconut oil
-bakers unsweetened chocolate bars
-almond butter ( only ingredient,almonds)
-stevia
-vanilla extract
-love :) 

DIRECTIONS!!! 
- First you want to set aside your cupcake pan with the cupcake foils inside them so they are ready for you when you need them! 
- Next, Heat on the stove on medium heat
- Put your pot on the heat and add two TBS of the oil. 
-Stir oil with a spoon
- Have the oil get a little bubbly and heated enough but DO NOT have it brown!!! 
-Next, add the bakers chocolate ( 1 square or the whole box! ) ( the more chocolate squares you add, add 1/2 TNS or oil ) 
- Mix the oil and the chocolate with a spoon on a lower heat setting 
- Next, you can add as much stevia as you like! ( it's a zero calorie sweetener AND it's made from a plant! ) 
#natural and #winning! 
* the sweeter the better ;) 
- Next, add in some drops of vanilla extract for flavoring ( one or two ) 
- Now take the pot of chocolate off of the stove.. No need to cool or it will harden!
- Next, you want to take your cupcake pan (with the foils in there )and add a TBS of your chocolate mixture to each foil ( or however much you would like to add , just remember you are going to add a layer of the almond butter like a sandwich , so you will want room )
- After you have your chocolate all divided, add a TBS of almond butter to each cup
- Pop them in the freezer for 15 minutes
- Take them out after 15 minutes and add your top layer of chocolate ( you will need to reheat the chocolate mixture ) 
- Add the finished product to the fridge for 2 hours.
-Eat after dinner, or for a snack and ENJOY YOUR "FREESES CUPS " :) 










* if you don't have all the time to make, and you just want a chocolate fix, add all of the ingredients together WITH the almond butter while heating in the pot. 
This option is faster and will still give you a peanut butter taste as well as the chocolate, the only difference is it the almond butter will not be in the center. 

** another tip, you do NOT have to add almond butter in the middle.. Get creative! Add some strawberry jam, coconut, peanutbutter, just make it a clean treat! :) 

Comment and let me know what you guys think!
Also, this Does contain fat. But it is all good fat that will not raise your cholesterol levels like say a Hershey, Reese's , snicker or any other candy will. 
My ingredients are not here to make you fat , tired, angry, or full of unwanted chemicals that harm your body! 

Enjoy and let me know what you guys think!
