Buttercup Bars
Servings: 20–24
Preparation Time: 15–20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup almond butter
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil (divided)
- 4 tablespoons raw honey (divided)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
Heat almond butter and 2 tablespoons coconut oil over low-medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add 2 tablespoons honey. Stir until well combined. Pour into a small baking dish (8 x 8-inch or similar) and smooth out in one uniform layer. Place in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil over low heat and add cocoa powder. Remove from heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons honey. Spread chocolate mixture over frozen almond butter mixture. Sprinkle with salt and chocolate chips. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Remove the dish from the freezer and let warm slightly (I run water over the bottom of the dish for 15–20 seconds). Don’t let it melt! Cut into squares. Serve immediately or return them to the freezer.
