CLEAN TREATS!! Salted Sunbutter Cups -- Allergy Friendly, Gluten-Free, Nut-Free, Paleo deliciousness!

I grew up on Reese's Peanut butter cups.  They were my "candy".  I can honestly say mine are SO MUCH BETTER!

Wholesome ingredients and 15 minutes of your life.  That's it!  And the end result?  Well, you get a plate of chocolate sunflower seed butter cups homemade goodness.  Nothing store-bought.  All homemade, and simple to create.  Are you drooling right now?

WHAT IS SUNFLOWER SEED BUTTER?

  • Sunflower seed butter is also known as Sunbutter is a nut-free alternative to peanut butter.
  • Sunflower seeds are less sweet than peanuts making dark chocolate a perfect sidekick.
  • Sunbutter is a brand I use because they are made in a dedicated nut-free facility and are top 8 allergen-free.  That goes a long way in my book.  Safety.  They have quite a few options and for this recipe, we are going to use the salted Sunbutter because it's super salty and works really well with chocolate.
  • Loaded with protein and full of nutrients.  Seeds are just as nutritious as nuts.
  • Comes from the Sunflower flower

HOW TO MAKE SUNBUTTER CHOCOLATE CUPS

  • These are simple ingredients you can buy at your local supermarket.  Nothing fancy.
  • All you need are chocolate bars of your choice, coconut oil, and sunflower seed butter.
  • You don't need any fancy appliances either.  You just need a microwave and a freezer.

Equipment

  • microwave

Ingredients

  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 3 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 4 tablespoon salted sunflower seed butter I like Sunbutter

Instructions

  • Line a muffin pan with 4 foil cupcake liners or use silicone liners.  Set aside.
  • Add chocolate to a microwavable bowl and melt for just under 1 minute in total.  Check on the mixture after 30 seconds and mix.  Then add back to microwave for another 10-20 seconds.  Add coconut oil and mix well.
  • Spoon the melted chocolate into the lined cups, filling each one about ⅛-1/4 full.  Place in freezer to set, about 5-8 minutes.
  • Take a heaping ¾ tablespoon of salted Sunbutter and place it on top of the set chocolate in a foil liner.  Repeat with remaining cups.
  • Spoon the remaining melted chocolate on top of the Sunbutter in the cups, being sure to cover each one completely.
  • Tap the pan on the countertop to even out and smooth the chocolate.  Place in the freezer until set.  Store these Homemade Salted Sunbutter Cups in the freezer in a sealed container or bag until ready to serve. Stores for up to 6 months.

Notes

For the candida or sugar-free style chocolate cup use 80% dark chocolate or gluten-free carob. //  Allergies to sunflower seeds?  No sweat!  Use any of the following: walnut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, hemp seed butter, pumpkin seed butter, tahini, and any other nut or seed butter of choice. // If you do not use salted sunflower seed butter you will have to add salt to each cup.  I would do a drizzle of salt on top before you put it in the freezer. // 

Health and joy,
