ALMOND BUTTER CUPS
I saw a recipe for making your own peanut butter cups with almond butter a few weeks back on the blog edible perspective (http://www.edibleperspective.com/2012/02/chocolate-maple-cinnamon-almond-butter-cups/) and decided to try them out using my home-made vanilla almond butter. They came out so great, I cant wait to try other variations (like e.g. a coffee mocha version or white chocolate). Feel free to add your own twist to this by using different nut butters, chocolates and if you like toppings or flavourings.

Steps:
- Mix vanilla extract and salt into your almond butter. Using a teaspoon make six flat roundish patties of almond butter. Set aside.
- Fill 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of melted chocolate into each of six cavities of a silicone muffin mold. Place one of the almond butter patties on top of each chocolate puddle.
- Top that with another 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate each smoothing out the tops and making sure that the almond butter is covered.
- Place in the fridge until hardened (I left mine over night). Pop out of the muffin tin and enjoy.

Tips:
- For a smoother texture, use a high-powered blender or food processor to blend the almonds until they are very fine.
- If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can chop the almonds finely by hand. Just be sure to chop them as finely as possible so that the almond butter is smooth.
- If the almond butter is too thick, add a little bit of almond milk or oil until it reaches the desired consistency.
- You can add a variety of flavors to your almond butter cups, such as chocolate, vanilla, or cinnamon. Just be sure to add the flavorings after the almond butter has been blended.
- If you want to make your almond butter cups extra special, try dipping them in melted chocolate or sprinkling them with chopped nuts or seeds.
