PREPARATION

These steps are followed for the preparation of Creamy Almond Butter And Dark Chocolate Cups:

• Prepare The Base: Line a small silicone mould or use mini cupcake liners. This keeps the cups neat in shape and makes them easy to remove once set.
• Add The Almond Butter: Spoon the almond butter into the base of each mould. Spread it gently so the layer is even and smooth, creating the perfect nutty foundation.
• Top With Chocolate: Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the almond butter. Let it cover the surface fully so each bite combines both flavours.
• Set In The Refrigerator: Place the moulds in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. This allows the layers to firm up and hold their shape before serving.
• Serve And Enjoy: Once set, remove the cups carefully from the mould. Enjoy straight away or keep them chilled until you are ready for a delicious snack.
