Favorite Almond Butter Cups

I am a dessert every day kind of person and homemade almond butter cups hit the spot. They’re sweet, creamy, and slightly salty.

Just 4 Ingredients!

Our secret recipe for the most delicious and simple almond butter cups comes from only 4 ingredients

High-quality dark chocolate: if you’re a dark chocolate snob like me, you know that quality matters. Grab your favorite chocolate bar or even your fav dark chocolate chips. Coconut oil: a little coconut oil in the chocolate shell is going to go a long way. Almond butter: any almond butter will work, even a homemade recipe 😀 Can’t do almond butter? Choose your favorite nut or seed butter instead! Sea salt: don’t skimp on the sea salt! It’s the sugar (or salt) on top for these cups.

How to Make Almond Butter Cups

Storage

For best results, store almond butter cups in the freezer. The reason we recommend this is because there is coconut oil in the chocolate shell. If it gets too warm, the chocolate will soften. You can also store these cups in the refrigerator, too!
