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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch springform pan; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk almonds, flour, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly. Work in butter until completely incorporated with no dry crumbs. Squeeze mixture to create pea-size-to-1-inch clumps.
- Transfer all but 1 1/2 cups of mixture to pan. Press mixture into pan to compress dough. Sprinkle with reserved 1 1/2 cups of mixture; transfer to oven.
- Bake, rotating pan 2 to 3 times, until cookie begins to turn golden, about 25 minutes. Reduce temperature to 300 degrees. Bake until golden brown and fairly dry, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Remove from pan. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Make sure your almond butter is smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, it will be difficult to work with and the cups will be too dense.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it hardens immediately, it's ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the chocolate. If you do, it will become thick and difficult to work with.
- If you're having trouble getting the chocolate to set, you can try chilling it in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
- Store the cups in a cool, dry place. They will keep for up to two weeks.
Conclusion:
These almond butter cups are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up any leftover almond butter. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious cups in no time. So what are you waiting for? Give them a try today!
