Give your classic peanut butter cup recipe the essence of autumn with pumpkin butter. This fun and easy recipe is perfect to make with the kiddos because they can assist with assembly and decoration.
In this recipe, I used crunchy almond butter instead of peanut butter but any nut or seed butter will work. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate. I used dark chocolate because it is my favorite, however, semi-sweet or vegan white chocolate will work as well.
