Amazing vegan and paleo butterscotch with homemade chocolate and fluffy peanut butter frosting. All this is refined sugar free made with healthy ingredients!

Since giving up white sugar and starting to experiment more on vegan treats, I get surprised every day. The things I thought I could never eat again turn out to be even better when refined sugar free and vegan.

Like butterscotch, who knew you could make toffee sugar free and vegan, and even raw and healthy?!

Well, a lot of people did before me, and now I know, and soon you’ll know too.

This month’s Peanut Butter Bash pairs peanut butter with butterscotch. I was already afraid I have to pass this month, but then thought to give it a try and went to Pinterest (where else?) to get ideas. I ran into a vegan butterscotch sauce recipe and modified it to a sticky toffee I used to fill the cups.

The Peanut Butter Bash is a group of bloggers monthly pairing peanut butter with an other ingredient. See all the recipes below:

These butterscotch chocolate cups are amazingly delicious!

You have to put a bit of an effort to make them, but I assure you all the work pays off once you taste them.

There are three elements to make, toffee, chocolate, and frosting. I made the chocolate from scratch, too, but you can melt dark chocolate chips to cut some corners.

The frosting is made of peanut butter and chilled coconut milk whipped together. It can be used on cupcakes and cakes, too.

You might need to spread the chocolate around the toffee with a spoon. Try to work as fast as you can before the chocolate sets too much. Let the cups to set well in a room temperature before storing them in the fridge.
