Almond butter cups


This is very good chocolate lovers!

2/3 c agave syrup (Shop rite carries it now)
4 oz melted raw cocoa butter (I order it from nutsonline.com...worth it also you melt it by putting it in a bowl and that bowl into another with hot water...it will take about 30 minutes.)
1/4 c melted raw coconut oil (Bon terra market...make sure you get the unrefined one. I ordered a gallon online recently because I go through it too fast.)
1/2 vanilla bean scraped or use extract
1/2 c cocoa powder
1/4 tsp coarse sea salt (I hate to use salt but it does bring out the sweetness)

Now you can either mix room temperature almonds up until they release their oils and become almond butter or go to shop rite and buy almond butter, smooth, for $5.99

Mix it up in a bowl

Get those little paper cup cake holders and put a dollop of chocolate.
Then a dollop of almond butter
Then another dollop of chocolate
And if you love the dark sweet frozen cherries they have at shop rite...put one of them on top.

Put them in a platter and in the freezer. In a little while...they are ready.

I have never tasted better and these don't have unrefined sugar either.
Even health conscious people have to be naughty on occasion :)
