Peanut Butter & Jelly Chocolate Cups!
These Peanut Butter & Jelly Chocolate Cups are the perfect sweet treat. The classic peanut butter & jelly combo is combined with a rich dark chocolatey coating. The coconut oil based chocolate coating is smooth and rich paired with creamy peanut butter and a slightly sweet homemade raspberry chia jam. I created these cups in mini form so that when you bite into them, you end up with the perfect bite of peanut butter and jelly oozing out of the chocolate shell.
This sweet treat is vegan, refined sugar-free, and gluten-free. They are lightly sweetened with natural maple syrup. I like to enjoy one or two of these after dinner. They are so satisfying and perfect as a post meal treat.

- Pour 1/2 tablespoon of the chocolate into the bottom of each prepared muffin tin. Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of the cooled raspberry mixture on top of the the chocolate, followed by 1/2 tablespoon of the peanut butter.
