Why you’ll love this recipe

  • These almond butter cups come together in about 30 minutes, and requires no baking.

  • They will last in the fridge for several weeks, or can even be stored in the freezer, and defrosted as needed.

  • They are a slightly healthier alternative to other candies, since dark chocolate and almond butter are used.

Tips to making this recipe perfectly

  • Use chopped chocolate, or a higher quality dark chocolate for the cups. Chocolate chips tend to have thickeners in them and it will not be as fluid when brushing the melted chocolate into the muffin cups.

  • Use room temperature butterscotch sauce, if the sauce is too hot, it will melt the sides of the chocolate and ooze out.

  • Before unmolding the almond butterscotch cups, make sure they are fully chilled so they pull away from the muffin cup neatly.

Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups

yield : 12 cups

Ingredients

3 cups (400 grams) dark chocolate chopped

2 teaspoons coconut oil

3/4 cup (180 grams) almond butter

1/4 cup (85 grams) butterscotch sauce

Instructions

  • Line a muffin pan with liners and set aside.

  • Over a double boiler, heat the chocolate and coconut oil until melted.

  • Pour about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into the bottoms of the muffin liners. Place in freezer until set.

  • With a pastry brush, brush more chocolate about a 1/4 of the way up the sides, making sure the folds in the muffin liner are completely coated in chocolate. Place in freezer to set.

  • Once the chocolate shell is set, place about 1 tablespoon of almond butter into each cup.

  • In the center of the almond butter, spoon 1 teaspoon of the butterscotch sauce.

  • Top off each cup with another tablespoon of melted chocolate, making sure no almond butter or butterscotch sauce is visible.

  • Chill in freezer until set.
