Almond and Coconut Butter Cups – Gluten Free

The only problem with making so much almond butter is that I’ve now got to find ways to use it. So since I seem to have a bit of a sweet tooth this weekend I decided to make some almond and coconut butter cups.

These cups are basically a healthy (paleo and gluten free too) version of Reese’s Butter Cups.

They are extremely rich so it’s a great way of having a sweet snack without binging!
57g Almond butter
