Sun Butter Cups

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1.5 Bags Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Cup Sugar Free Sun Butter
  • 5 TBSP Arrow Root Flour
  • 1 tsp Coconut Oil

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • 1. Mix the Sun Butter and Arrow Root together in a small bowl and set aside.
  • 2. In a double boiler, gently melt the Lily’s and the coconut oil together.
  • 3. Spoon melted chocolate into Cupcake Liners. Using a soup spoon, cover the bottom of the liner with melted chocolate. The amount should be on the thinner side as it will thicken as it solidifies.
  • Add the Sun Butter/Arrow Root on top of the chocolate. Use a soup spoon for this too.
  • Spoon on the top layer of the melted Lily’s using the remaining chocolate. Remember, it will thicken as it solidifies, so don’t make it too thick, It will be hard to bite into.
  • 4. Let them cool in the fridge for an hour.

Dishing On This Dish: This is super easy to make. The trick is to keep the chocolate on the top and bottom thin so it isn’t hard to bite into. I used foil lined cupcake bottoms and the foil stuck and it was a disaster. Parchment paper Cupcake liners worked better.

DISHING ON THIS DISH: There are so many things to love about this healthier twist of fat bombs meet Reese’s => Schmeese’s. First, the purpose of the sweeteners is taste only so you are free to use your own preferences and amounts to your own taste and needs. Second, Sun Butter is a way-yum alternative for those of us allergic to peanuts and the sweet/salty taste and smooth texture of these will satisfy any chocolate craving, in fact, half of one is enough for me. Last, if you’re short on time, you can mix all the ingredients together and freeze. You’ll get the same flavor, just not the layered look. Be sure to use the ice cube trays that pop out, not the ones that twist. They are usually circular, not rectangular. Candy molds could be used instead.
