Rich, double-layered fudge bites – dreamy, chocolatey and fruity. Made with wholesome ingredients, they have a cookie dough-style base, a nut buttery vanilla layer and are topped with dried fruit and chopped nuts.

This super delicious, packed with goodness, simple recipe comes together in just under 20 minutes and make for the perfect snack or treat. One of my all-time fave combos – chocolate and nut butter! Plus they are no bake so you don’t have to worry about messing with the oven!

They are best served cold straight from the fridge. The no baking part also means they are a lot faster to make and less fuss. Did I mention they taste freaking amazing?

As well as being really easy to make, these cups are healthier than your average treat as they are made with wholesome REAL food ingredients.

This recipe is so simple to make. Simply mix up the chocolate base ingredients in a bowl. Divide the mixture up into 10 muffins slots smooth them out.

Freeze for 20 minutes then get your vanilla, nut butter layer going, melted in a small pot on LOW heat. Scoop on top of the chocolate layer and to finish top with chopped dried fruit and nuts, chill some more and enjoy!

The whole family LOVED these little cups; they were gone in under 24 hours. They give off serious Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups vibes but way more healthy and delicious. With ingredients that you most likely have in your pantry already – these NEED to be made!

Servings 10

Ingredients

Chocolate Base Layer

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup peanut or almond butter
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vanilla Layer

• 1 13.5 oz can coconut cream,full fat (solid part only) *see note below
• 1/2 cup almond or cashew butter
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

• 1/2 cup raisins and/or dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans, walnuts or cashews

Instructions

Chocolate Base Layer

• Note: Place the can of coconut cream in the fridge or freezer for at least 1-2 hours before making these treats to allow coconut cream to separate.

  Arrange ten silicone cupcake molds on a tray or plate, or place paper liners into a regular muffin cupcake tray.

  Add all ingredients for the base layer into a bowl and stir well until combined and mixture is smooth.

  Divide the chocolate mixture between the ten cases and smooth out. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to set. They will be almost fully set; that’s okay. This is important so the two layers do not mix.

   

Vanilla Layer

• Open chilled can and scoop out the cream that has separated and set hard on the top. Save the remaining coconut water to use in a smoothie, drink, or discard. (I give it to my two dogs with their dinner and they love it!)

  Place hardened coconut cream, almond butter, coconut oil, honey and vanilla into a small dish and microwave in 10 second increments then whisk until smooth.

  Alternatively, place all the ingredients in a small saucepan as above and gently melt on a low heat, whisking until smooth.

  Remove the cups from the freezer and pour over the nut butter layer. Sprinkle over the dried fruits and nuts.

  Chill again in the freezer for 1 hour, or until set. Store the fudge cups in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

  Serving Suggestions and Variations

  Make these fudge cups with any nut or seed butter you like; smooth and runny brands work best.You can also use any dried fruits and nuts for the topping.

  Keep these nut-free by using seed butter, such as tahini or sunflower seed butter, and using seeds or more dried fruits instead of the nuts on top.
