Ingredients:

• 2 100g bars of Kanda dark chocolate, the cornerstone of our bliss cups
• 1/2 cup almond butter, smooth or crunchy based on your preference
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil (for a vegan option), ensuring a smooth, luxurious texture
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup, adding a natural sweetness
• A pinch of sea salt, elevating the flavors to new heights
• Optional: A sprinkle of crushed almonds or extra sea salt for topping, adding crunch and flair

Recipe Steps:

1. Prep Time: Begin by lining a mini muffin tin with paper liners. This simple start paves the way for the magic to happen.

2. Melt Chocolate: Break the Kanda dark chocolate bars into pieces. Combine it with 2 tablespoon of unsalted butter or coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave (in 30-second bursts, stirring between each), until you achieve a melody of smoothness.

3. Fill Liners: Spoon a teaspoon of the melted chocolate into each liner. Gently tilt to coat the sides, forming the base of your cups. Freeze for about 10 minutes, or until set.

4. Almond Butter Mixture: Stir together the almond butter, the remaining tablespoon of unsalted butter or coconut oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Aim for a consistency that whispers smoothness and spreadability.

5. Assemble: Spoon the almond butter mixture into the chocolate cups. Level the tops gently, ensuring each cup is filled with love and care.

6. Top Off: If the chocolate has thickened, gently reheat until smooth and spoon over the almond butter layer, sealing the blend of flavors. Sprinkle with crushed almonds or a dash of sea salt if desired.

7. Chill Out: Freeze the assembled cups for about 15 minutes, or until they're firm to the touch. This brief wait is the final step in your journey to bliss.

8. Serve: Unveil the bliss cups and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. This moment of patience allows the flavors to meld perfectly.
