Servings 12 large cups or 24 mini cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter smooth or crunchy
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup for vegan

Instructions
- Line a regular muffin tin or a mini muffin tin with paper or silicone liners. Set aside.

Notes
These can be easily be made paleo-friendly using almond butter. Make sure to use paleo / vegan chocolate, if needed.
