As you may know, my daughter has a severe peanut allergy. I wanted to find an easy and yummy recipe to make our own soy butter cups, but have always been intimated by the idea of making them on my own. I recently came across a recipe from The Best Blog Recipes and thought we'd give her recipe a try! We of course used WOWButter, as we are huge fans, and it is completely peanut free. I'm happy to say that our soy butter cups came out delicious and didn't last long; we'll be making more soon! You can of course use peanut butter for non-peanut allergies.
30 1-inch Paper Candy Liners
1/3 Cup Wowbutter
(or peanut butter for non-peanut allergies)
3/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
1/8 tsp Sea Salt
1 Tbl Butter
1 and 2/3 cup Hershey's milk chocolate chips
1 Tbl coconut oil (or vegetable shortening if you don't have coconut oil)
Directions:
Mix chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium sized microwave safe bowl and microwave uncovered for 1 minute. STIR. If need be, microwave an additional 10- to 15-seconds (in intervals), stirring just until melted.
In a separate bowl combine WOWButter (or Peanut Butter), powdered sugar, butter and sea salt. Mix thoroughly until there are no lumps. Place paper candy liners on a baking tray. Spoon about 1/2- 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each paper cup-- make sure to cover the sides of the cup about half way up the paper liner! Roll Wowbutter/peanut butter into small balls. Flatten them a bit and then place them on top of the melted chocolate in your paper cups. Top each with an additional 1/2- 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate. Place your cups in the fridge and refrigerate for 20 minutes, or until they are firm. To store, keep them in a covered container in your refrigerator. They also freeze nicely as well!
