PALEO CHOCOLATE ALMOND-BUTTER CUPS

Sometimes I just crave chocolate!



These are so so easy to make, and so delicious!


I made 2 versions, one with almond butter and one with sunbutter so that the kids could take them to school.  

They are dairy free, lactose free, grain free and gluten free.

Thank god for Enjoy Life Chocolate chips!!

INGREDIENTS:

1 Package of enjoylife chocolate chips
1 cup almond or sunbutter
1/4 cup organic coconut sugar
1 and 1/2 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tsp coconut oil
Parchment paper

INSTRUCTIONS:

Melt 1 tsp coconut oil in sauce pan on low heat

Pour in 1 package of enjoylife chips and stir until melted

Add the almond or sunbutter and stir until mixed and melted

Add the coconut and coconut sugar and stir well

Continue to cook over low heat stirring almost constantly

Line a mini muffin pan with parchment paper 

Pour chocolate mixture into the muffin tins, the put in freezer.  

They take about an hour to set.  Then remove from freezer and transfer to a covered dish and store in refrigerator.

I packed them in the kids school lunches by placing a small ice pack in the bottom of a tupperware container, covering it with papertowel and then placing 3 little chocolate cups on top of the ice pack and papertowel covered with a lid.

This is because the honestly begin to thaw/melt in your hand.  They need to be kept cold.

This method worked great, the kids said they tasted so good, no one believed that their mom made them! Yea!!

Well actually I had a little help:)
