# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Mix cocoa, melted coconut oil, 1/2 cup maple syrup and salt in a bowl until everything's well blended and looks silky.
02 - Grab another bowl and stir the peanut butter with 3 tablespoons maple syrup until they're completely combined.
03 - Put paper liners in a 12-cup muffin tin. Drop 2 teaspoons chocolate mix into each cup and spread flat. Add 2 teaspoons peanut butter mix in the middle, pressing down slightly. Cover with 2 more teaspoons chocolate, using a spoon back to smooth everything out.
04 - Pop them in the fridge for at least two hours or leave overnight to firm up. You can sprinkle some sea salt on top before eating if you want.

03 - You can keep them frozen for up to 6-9 months in a sealed container.
04 - Try adding a tiny bit of salt to the peanut butter part if your peanut butter doesn't have any salt already.
