Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 ounces organic cacao chips
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

- 1/3 cups almond butter, as needed
Directions:
Slowly melt cacao chips, oil, and butter. Add cacao, honey, salt, and vanilla, stirring vigorously to temper the mixture. Add nuts and coconut.
Place small candy cups on a sheet tray. You may use larger ones but won’t have as many. Pour in chocolate mixture to cover bottom. Place 1/4–1/2 teaspoon almond butter on top of chocolate mixture. Cover with remaining chocolate mixture. Freeze for 15 minutes or longer. Keep in cool place such as refrigerator.
