Chocolate almond butter cups

Silicone or paper muffin cases 100 g cacao butter 8 tbs cacao powder 1 tsp vanilla paste (or half vanilla pod) 3-4 tbs maple syrup or honey (depending how sweet you want it) 150 g good quality almond butter (small jar) pinch of salt 8 whole skinless almonds First melt the cacao butter in the bowl over the pan of boiling water.

Spoon two tbs of chocolate into the muffin cases and leave in the fridge for about 10
