Health Benefits

Our Paleo Almond Butter Cups offer a wealth of health benefits that make them an excellent choice for those following a Paleo diet:

1. High in healthy fats: Both dark chocolate and almond butter provide heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which support cardiovascular health and help keep you feeling satiated.

   
   

2. Rich in nutrients: Almonds offer essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, and calcium, contributing to overall health and well-being.

   
   

3. Paleo-friendly: By using dark chocolate and almond butter, these cups are free of refined sugars, dairy, and grains, aligning with a Paleo lifestyle.

   
   

4. Good source of antioxidants: Dark chocolate contains flavanols, powerful antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation and promote overall health.

Ingredients

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cacao)

• 1/2 cup creamy almond butter

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

• Sea salt, for topping

  
  

Cooking Instructions

1. In a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl placed over a pot of gently simmering water, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

   
   

2. Line a muffin tin with 12 parchment paper liners.

   
   

3. Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each liner, using about 1/3 of the total chocolate mixture.

   
   

4. Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to harden the chocolate.

   
   

5. Remove the tin from the refrigerator and spoon a small amount of almond butter (about 1 tsp) onto the hardened chocolate in each cup.

   
   

6. Top the almond butter with the remaining melted chocolate, dividing it evenly among the cups.

   
   

7. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cup.

   
   

8. Refrigerate the almond butter cups for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is fully set.
