Healthy Homemade Cashew Butter Cups

Healthy, Homemade Cashew Butter Cups

Vegan | Paleo | Gluten-Free

Ingredients

For the peanut butter filling:

  • 1 and 1/2 cup creamy cashew butter all natural
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt omit if your cashew butter is already salted

For the chocolate coating:

  • 4 cups vegan chocolate chips I prefer enjoy life or Lily’s
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • Course pink sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix the cashew butter filling ingredients together using a mixer to get it nice and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Line 48 mini muffin cups with liners and melt the chocolate by placing the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heat safe bowl and heating over a double boiler or in the microwave at 30 second intervals (this should take no longer than 90 seconds total).
  3. Pour about 1 teaspoon melted chocolate into each muffin cup, I like to use a teaspoon for this and use it to gently spread the chocolate up and around the sides of each cup. Place in the freezer for about 5 – 10 minutes to set.
  4. Remove chilled chocolate molds from the freezer and fill with about 2 teaspoons of cashew butter filling. Top with another Tablespoon of melted chocolate and sprinkle with a pinch of course pink sea salt.
  5. Place back in the freezer to set completely.
