These almond butter cups are made with just 5 ingredients – dark chocolate, coconut oil, almond butter, chopped almonds, and sea salt.
You know those times when your sweet tooth is just completely OUT OF CONTROL and you don’t know what to do about it?
Well, I’ve got a solution for you. I made these almond butter cups. And they help A LOT with satiating my crazy sweet tooth. My only tip here is to make sure to use good quality dark chocolate and almond butter. Check the ingredients for any funky stuff.
These are seriously so easy to make, it would be silly NOT to have a bunch of these on hand whenever you need them. Here’s how I made them.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Chopped chocolate. I like using dark chocolate for these almond butter cups but feel free to use any chocolate you’d like.
- Melted coconut oil. This will help the chocolate melt way faster and smoother.
- Almond butter. You can buy crunchy almond butter but in case you can’t find any, you can mix almonds together with regular almond butter.
- Chopped almonds. If you can’t find crunchy almond butter, you can mix these almonds with almond butter.
- Sea salt. I like to sprinkle some flaky sea salt on top.
How To Make Almond Butter Cups
- Line a muffin tin. Add cupcake liners to a muffin tin. Set aside.
- Melt the chocolate. In a bowl, add coconut oil and chocolate and microwave in 30-second increments until completely melted.
- Add the first layer of chocolate. Into each liner, pour a tablespoon of the chocolate. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Make crunchy almond butter. In a bowl, mix together almond butter with chopped almonds until smooth. Remove muffin tin from the freezer and add 2 teaspoons of almond butter mixture into the center of each liner. Make sure to smooth out that layer before adding the melted chocolate.
- Add the top layer of chocolate. Top the almond butter mixture with the remaining melted chocolate.
- Freeze the cups. Sprinkle with sea salt and freeze for 1-2 hours.
I hope you make them and absolutely LOVE them!
