Equipment

  • 2 Small saucepans

Ingredients
  

For the Caramel Sauce

  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup full-fat, canned coconut milk
  • pinch pink salt
  • 6 tbsp roasted, salted peanuts

For the Candy Cups

  • ¼ cup vegan dark chocolate chips melted
  • 2 tbsp natural, creamy peanut butter

Instructions
 

For the Caramel Sauce

  • Heat together the caramel ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Keep stirring until it begins to boil, then set the heat to low and stir for around 15 minutes until it begins to thicken. You can measure out 4 tablespoons to use for this recipe (it should make about that much).
  • Mix in the peanut butter to the saucepan with the caramel sauce so it can melt.
  • Mix in the roasted peanuts last.

For the Chocolate Layer

  • Melt together the chocolate chips and peanut butter in another small saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted.
  • Remove from heat once melted.

To Assemble the Cups

  • Line a muffin tray with 3 muffin liners.
  • Add an equal amount of the peanut-caramel mixture to each of the muffin liners.
  • Top caramel layer with an equal amount of chocolate all over each cup. Do not swirl it around.
  • Freeze for two hours, until the filling has set and the chocolate is frozen.
  • Enjoy cold!
