To make sure your nut butter cereal cups turn out perfectly every time, here are a few simple tips.

1. Use a natural, creamy nut butter so it mixes easily with the maple syrup. If your nut butter is slightly thick, stir it well before measuring so the oils are fully incorporated.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the cupcake molds so the cups hold together once chilled.
3. Let them freeze until fully set so they pop out easily. Once frozen, you can store the cups in the refrigerator or freezer, depending on your preferred texture.
