How to Prepare Super Versatile Chocolate Almond Butter Cups [Vegan, Raw, Gluten-Free]

  1. Melt the cacao butter. Place a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of boiling water and add the cacao. Stir until melted. Add the cacao powder and stir until combined.
  2. Add the maple syrup, maca, vanilla and salt. Taste, adding more maple syrup if desired.
  3. Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cases and spoon 1 tbsp of chocolate into each one.
  4. Set in the fridge to harden, about 20 minutes.
  5. Once hardened, using a teaspoon measure add 1 tsp of almond butter on top of the chocolate and smooth it out.
  6. Spoon more chocolate over the top of the almond butter, sprinkle on the hemp seeds or cacao nibs.
  7. Put the almond butter cups into the fridge to harden. Once hardened, remove them from the muffin tray and store in an airtight container to keep fresh.

Notes

Just a warning – because of the cacao butter and coconut oil these melt incredibly fast – so shove them into your mouth quick.
