Raw Vegan Nut Butter Cups
Okay, here's the motherload. Literally, these things should have some sort of warning label on them. They're that addictive! I think this is the perfect introductory recipe into making your own healthy chocolate, seeing as you only need one common kitchen pan for this: a mini cupcake tin!
Please don't be a dumbass like me and forget your cupcake liners. I mean, it can be done, but it requires a lot of flinging your body around your kitchen, thumping the tin, crying over broken cups, etc. Just take the easy road and save yourself with the liners.
