Happy Halloween! Everywhere you look there’s candy galore in the form of mini-sized candy bars and trick-or-treat-sized packages. This week, we’re going to talk about a healthy candy option for you to eat while answering the door.

Here’s a recipe from Primally Inspired for Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups that contain no added sugar. The only sugar in these homemade goodies is from the dark chocolate chips.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp pumpkin

  • 2 Tbsp almond butter

  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted

  • ½ tsp vanilla

  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (60-70% cacao, I use Lily’s)

  • 1 Tbsp additional coconut oil

Combine pumpkin, almond butter, coconut oil, vanilla, and pumpkin spice together and mix until well combined.

Melt chocolate chips and 1 Tbsp coconut oil over low heat in a double boiler until melted and smooth. Line a muffin pan with 6 cupcake liners. Pour about a Tbsp of chocolate in the bottom of each liner. Swirl the muffin pan around until the chocolate comes up around the liners about a ½ inch.

Freeze for a few minutes until chocolate is all the way hardened. Take out of the freezer and put a little less than a Tbsp of almond butter mixture on top of the hardened chocolate. Put it back in the freezer for about 5 minutes. Take out of the freezer and cover the almond butter mixture with about a Tbsp more of chocolate or until the almond butter mixture is completely covered with the chocolate.

Refrigerate or freeze until chocolate is hardened. Store in the fridge or freezer.

Next Sunday, we’ll talk about how practicing gratitude improves our health.
