A Healthy Twist On Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Made with delicious and better-for-you almonds (peanuts are definitely not the health-conscious choice), alongside our cacao, this recipe will make something hard to stop eating! We also opted to use Allulose as the sweetener in this recipe as we're loving it in our new Cacao Bar for it's sweetness and lack of related health issues like almost all other sugars and sweeteners.

Why we love this recipe with our cacao

Our ceremonial cacao is 100% cacao. That means, unlike cocoa powder, it isn't over processed & defatted. It's full of nutrients and the cacao butter is still present, which turns these Chocolate Almond Butter Cups into a melt in your mouth experience. Using these simple ingredients alongside our cacao makes for a healthy & decadent treat.

DESSERT

Ditch the peanuts and unhealthy chocolate and make this guilt-free dessert. They are rich, so enjoy each bite! This recipe uses Allulose as it's a fantastic sweetener. If you don't have any, we added amounts for honey.

1/2 Cup Almond Butter (crunchy if you like extra crunch!)
1/2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
3 Tbsp Allulose (or 1.5 Tbsp honey)
1/2 tsp Vanilla
Pinch Salt
Chocolate Coating:
1 Cup Ceremonial Cacao
1/2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
1/2 Tbsp Allulose (or 1/4 Tbsp Honey)

Directions

Line muffin tray with cups and place in freezer for at least 30 minutes

Use double boiler to melt Coating ingredients (cacao, coconut oil & allulose) together, stirring until completely smooth

Take tray from freezer and place 1 teaspoon of coating in each cup

Return Tray to Freezer for at least 10 minutes

Melt Coconut Oil for filling on low heat

Add all filling ingredients into a bowl and stir until well incorporated

Take tray from freezer and place a scoop of filling into each cup. Use fingers to flatten the filing, leaving room around the edge of the cups for chocolate covering.

Pour remainder of the Chocolate Covering into the cups, with enough to cover the filing in each.
