Instructions

- Line muffin cups with some of the melted chocolate to line the bottoms and spread out.
- Place in freeze for a couple of minutes until set, then scoop some of the almond butter filling on top of the chocolate in the muffin cups. At this time you can also add some almonds if you want the crunch factor!
