Almond Butter Cups

I have not been good about posting lately, I am finding it hard to cook and take pictures, I will work on that. I really like this recipe, it is the time of year for summer party's and this is a perfect dessert to bring to any party. This is my version of a really great recipe that I have made a hundred times from The Kind Life book. In the book the recipe is for peanut butter cups and has different ingredients, but the same general idea. these cups are so rich! next time I think I will make them in a mini muffin form.

Ingredients
2 cups - Cat Cookies (for people) Trader Joe's brand
1/2 cup - Earth Balance
3/4 cup - Almond Butter
1/4 cup - raw sugar
1 bag - Chocolate Chips (dark or whatever kind you want, be sure it is vegan)
1/2 cup any nut milk you have on hand
about 1 cup of whole raw almonds for your garnish

Directions

• Line muffin pan with paper cups (makes 12)
• put the Cat Cookies in the Food Processor, zip them up till the are in little pieces (like making a graham cracker crust)
• melt the earth balance (I did this in the microwave its too hot to turn on the oven in phoenix)
• mix together the melted earth balance, cat cookies, almond butter, and sugar.
• once this is combined divide the mixture between your 12 muffin cups
• melt the chocolate chips and the nut milk together
• divide the melted chocolate between your 12 muffin cups
• garnish the tops with the raw almonds and a sprinkle of raw sugar
• place in the freezer until frozen.

I like to leave these in a Ziploc in the freezer. when you are ready to eat just pull off the paper and go for it. I will tell you these are really rich, so I may make them as minis next time.
