Just try to pretend that you didn’t see it coming . . .
Because I just can’t stop with the quick and easy, secretly healthy DIY nut butter cups . . .
And you know what, I’m not even a little bit sorry about it!
They’re just so easy to throw together, the flavors and variations you can make are virtually endless – they’re the perfect, pre-portioned, grab and go treat!
I can’t think of a better way to end the day then cozied on the couch with a couple of these bad boys . . .
And that my friend is exactly where you’ll find me, most nights at 8pm . . . livin’ my best life!
It’s quite possible my fave time of day!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, chocolate and nut butter give me life!
Obsessed much, I say YASSS!
And, I have to tell you, this latest batch of nut butter cups has taken my obsession to a WHOLE new level!
And that’s something I didn’t even think was possible!
But . . .
Decadent rich, deliciously indulgent, cool crisp dark chocolate cups encasing a luscious, creamy, seriously dreamy, perfectly spiced cashew butter filling that literally oozes with awesomeness when you bite on in . . .
Yep, that’ll do it!
Honestly, I don’t even know what more there is to tell you . . . last week I raved about how incredible that creamy, dreamy golden spiced cashew butter is and believe me it’s all kinds of wonderful just on it’s own but, stuffing it into it’s very own, perfectly portioned dark chocolate cup and sprinkling it with a touch of flaky sea salt = best idea, ever!
The richness of the dark chocolate marries so perfectly with the subtly sweet, perfectly spiced, creamy, dreamy cashew butter – it really is a match made in heaven!

Dark Chocolate Golden Spiced Cashew Butter Cups
{Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan, Keto & Paleo Friendly}Makes 12-14 Deliciously simple, seriously indulgent, secretly healthy, creamy, dreamy, perfectly spiced, cashew butter cups
Ingredients –
1/2 cup of golden spiced cashew butter
1/2 cup of good quality dark chocolate
Flaky sea salt
Optional add-in;
1-2 scoops of collagen – for protein and gut healing goodness
Method –
1 – Melt chocolate by your preferred method. I like to do mine broiler style by placing my chocolate in a small bowl over a pot of simmering water.
2 – Use a teaspoon to drizzle some melted chocolate into a chocolate mold (or can use mini paper or silicone cupcake/muffin cases if you prefer) and spread to coat evenly. Don’t use all your chocolate, remember you want to save about 1/4 of it to spread on top once our chocolate cups are filled.
3 – Place your chocolate cups in the fridge or freezer for 5-10 mins to set.
4 – Remove your chocolate cups from the fridge or freezer, fill each chocolate cup with a spoonful of your creamy, dreamy, golden spiced cashew butter, then use the back of your spoon carefully smooth out the top and firmly but gently press the filling down into the chocolate cups.
5 – Once all your cups are filled, top with a little extra chocolate, smooth it all the way to the edges to the filling is completely covered then sprinkle with salt and place them back into the fridge (or freezer) to set.
These delicious little cups will keep well in the fridge for several weeks but can also be stored in the freezer for 3-6 months!
Enjoy xo
