Raw Almond Joy Cups
My Mom asked me last week, if I could make her some almond butter cups. I was not going to say no, and in fact I even jazzed up the almond butter cups a bit! My Mom has always loved Almond Joy Bars, and so I thought, why not make a raw almond butter cup with the same flavors?!
Raw Almond Joy Cups
Makes 12
White Chocolate:
1/2 cup raw coconut butter, warmed to liquid
liquid stevia to taste
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
about 1/4 cup shredded dried coconut
Chocolate:1/4 cup raw cacao powder
1/4 cup raw coconut oil, warmed to liquid
2 Tbsp raw coconut nectar or raw agave nectar
a pinch of sea salt
about a 1/3 cup raw almond butter
12 raw almonds
12 mini sized foil cups (regular peanut butter cup sized, not the tiny and not the regular muffin size)
Whisk together coconut butter, stevia, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set 12 foil cups out, and fill them 1/3 full with white chocolate. Sprinkle with a little coconut. Set in the freezer until hard (about 15 minutes), then place about a heaping tsp of almond butter into the center of each. To make the dark chocolate, whisk together all ingredients until smooth. Spoon dark chocolate over peanut butter to cover. Set an almond on top of each one. Set in the freezer until hard, about 15 minutes. Store in the fridge.

Looks so good! Yummm
Thank you :)!
Can't wait to try these....But not sure where to get peanut butter size cups ~<br />
I got mine at the grocery store. They are called "mini" but are actually in between candy size and muffin size. I bet you can order them online though.
Delish, can't wait to try it :)
I hope you do try them, so good :)!
Yummy! I'm bookmarking this recipe. Thanks for sharing! : )<br />
You are so welcome! I am happy to share :)!
Thank you so much for sharing all these great recipes! I try to make most of them. The base is in the freezer now. Can't wait to try. My friend reserved 2 of the batch for her to eat! 15 minutes feel like an eternety waiting for your yummy deserts to harden!
You are so welcome :)! it makes me happy that you make mmy reecipes and I am glad you are trying these out, you will love them!
The base did not harden up and all the coconut flakes sank to the bottom. Did I do something wrong? They were still delicious. I will have to make another batch today. Thank you.
Did you use coconut butter and NOT coconut oil, or fresh coconut? Because that would make a difference. Also, did they stay in the freezer long enough? Mine get super hard when using coconut butter. I hope your next batch works out :).
I used coconut butter. I thought it was because I used maple syrup instead of the stevia. But my friends turned out the same way and she used stevia. Maybe it has to do with me using silicone cups? I'll try freezing them overnight and turning them upside down. Thank you. They are still delicious though!
It might have been the maple syrup since it adds more liquid. Mine were quite hard. Maybe it takes longer to chill them in the silicone cups though.
Thank you!
