  4. Line a 12 cavity muffin pan with liner.
  5. Pour in about a tablespoon of the cocoa mixture into the bottom of each cavity. Next top with a chunk of the aloud butter. Make sure to every distribute the almond butter between each cup. Also, make sure the almond butter is pressed down and flat so it will not stick out of the chocolate.
