Chocolate Buttery Almond Cups

My very own "Reeses cups" but with only 5 raw ingredients, unlike Reese's 15 ingredients! Simple to make, delicious and great for kids to get involved with too. You can add toppings such as orange, mint, chilli, cacao nibs or salt.

Notes

I made mine in silicon moulds I bought from a local supermarket. They really added a gloss to the chocolate and were easy to peal off once the chocolate had set. Optional toppings: *Zest of an orange *Dried chilli flakes *Pinch of sea salt *Cacao Nibs
