ABC Cups (Almond Butter Coconut Cups)

I recently made a huge change in my life- from Whole9 to just regular paleo.  To celebrate, I decided to make Almond Butter Coconut Cups.  They were really good ... but I thought they could be better.  I am on my third batch now, and I think I have a really good thing going here!

Here is what you need:

1/2 cup almond butter 

2 tbsp raw organic honey

1/4 cup coconut butter (I found this at whole foods.  over priced, but at least I didn't have to make it.  To make: just process some unsweetened coconut for like 10 minutes)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (get the real stuff, not the imitation!)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (almond, cashews, or hazelnuts)
1-2 cups DARK chocolate chips (i didn't measure, oops.. I'll measure next time)

Pinch of sea salt (I like the kosher coarse salt)

1-2 tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut
12-16 mini muffin papers

1 mini muffin tin

What to do:

1. Mix the almond butter, coconut butter, vanilla and honey.

2. Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds.  Stir well and let sit. 
3. Stir the mixed nuts in the butter mix
4. Scoop butter mix in well oiled muffin tin about half full.  Freeze until solid (about 30 minutes)
5. When solid, pry out butter pucks with a knife (store in fridge or freezer until needed)
6. Line muffin tin with paper liners and spray the inside of the liners with EVOO or coconut oil spray
7. Melt chocolate carefully, in 30 second intervals
8. Scoop 1/2 tsp of chocolate into the cups
9. Use your finger to rub the chocolate around on the sides of the cups
10. Freeze chocolate until solid
11. Put nut butter puck on top of chocolate and add 1/2 to 1 tsp of chocolate on top.
12. Sprinkle coconut and salt on top.  Freeze to set chocolate.
