Vegan Peanut Butter Cups

You might hate me after this post!  These are soooo yummy and addictive!

Let’s get right to it!

Vegan Peanut Butter Cups

(Print this recipe!)

Ingredients:
12 mini cupcake liners
1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast (I know it sounds weird, but it really helps with the texture of the filling and I swear it doesn’t leave a taste)

Directions:

Get your mini cupcake liners ready…

Let your PB cups hang out until they harden (you can put them in the fridge or freezer to speed up the process, but they really taste best if you let them hang out overnight)
