2 tbsp maple syrup or keto syrup

Instructions
-
Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, add peanut butter, chopped nuts, almond flour, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir until thick and evenly combined. The texture should be soft but hold its shape
-
Prep the pan: Line a muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
-
Form the base: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture into each liner. Press gently to flatten into an even layer.
-
Melt the chocolate: Add dark chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy
-
Top the cups: Spoon melted chocolate over each peanut butter layer, covering completely.
-
Finish & chill: Sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm
