Healthy almond butter nut cups that are raw and full of nutrients. Similar to reese’s butter cups but made of natural and unrefined ingredients that make you feel good.

You can use any nut butter that you like for the centre – I like to use a raw almond butter.

The shell is a raw chocolate made from cacao powder so they are dark with a rich depth of flavour.

You can replace the maple syrup with date syrup or agave nectar or any other liquid sweetener. Use any nut you like to sprinkle on top.

Raw Chocolate Almond Nut Butter Cups Recipe

I’ve also made versions of this from seeds using sunflower seed butter and tahini (pulped sesame seeds).

Seeds make a butter cup that has an earthy taste.

My favourite combination is raw chocolate with a tahini centre topped with shelled hemp seeds.
