Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Chilling time: 10 minutes

Makes 12-15 individual cookies, depending on how generous you are when making them.

 

Ingredients:

*375g cups granola

*150g peanuts-chopped

*3 Tablespoons smooth peanut butter

*3 Tablespoons honey (or more if needed)

 

Filling:

*150g smooth peanut butter-melted

 

Topping:

*200g dark chocolate-finally chopped

*1 Tablespoon coconut oil

 

Instructions:

*To make the peanut butter granola cups, take a bowl and combine the granola, chopped peanuts, peanut butter, and honey.  If the mixture is too dry add more honey to get the mixture to hold together.

*Grease a cupcake tin and divide the mixture into 12-15 cups, depending on how big you want them.  Press the mixture down well, so it holds together and then make a dent in the centre of each cup (this is for the peanut butter).  Freeze for 5-10 minutes, until the cups are firm.

*Then, melt the peanut butter and pour it into the centre of each granola cup.  Now, freeze again for another 5-10 minutes, until firm.

*Finally, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil and spoon melted chocolate on top of peanut butter.  Chill until chocolate has set.

 

Notes:

These peanut butter granola cups are best served chilled.  They will become soft and sticky at warm temperatures!
