Delicious and Healthy Almond Butter Cups

This recipe features a creamy almond butter filling infused with orange zest and dried cranberries, all encased in a rich dark chocolate shell. The preparation takes about 30 minutes and yields 12 cups, making it a perfect treat for sharing.

Ingredients

1 cup almond butter
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
Zest of 1 orange
1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

Prepare the Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
Line the Muffin Tin: Place cupcake liners in a muffin tin. Pour a small amount of melted chocolate into each liner, just enough to cover the bottom. Place the tin in the refrigerator to set for about 10 minutes.
Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix together the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, orange zest, and chopped cranberries until well combined.
Fill the Cups: Remove the muffin tin from the refrigerator. Spoon the almond butter mixture into each chocolate-lined cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
Top with Chocolate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the almond butter filling in each cup, ensuring they are fully covered. Tap the tin gently to remove any air bubbles.
Chill: Return the muffin tin to the refrigerator and let the cups set for at least 30 minutes until firm.
Serve: Once set, remove the cups from the liners and enjoy your homemade Cranberry Orange Almond Butter Cups!
