When I tell you these almond butter cups are addictive, I’m not kidding. Seriously, I made them a few times, and they fly off the counter every single time. My hubby and I are truly obsessed. I would say we are pretty healthy people and care a lot about what we put in our bodies, but my goodness, we both have a sweet tooth that cannot be neglected! These Crunchy Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups are our new favorite thing.
If you’re looking for the perfect snack that feels indulgent but is secretly packed with nourishing ingredients, this is the recipe you need in your life. It’s almost too easy to make that it’s like, why would you ever make anything else? It’s so delicious that you might find yourself having dessert before breakfast – and they are so easy to customize. I’m talking dried fruits, a peanut butter swirl or switching up the cracker base – the options are endless. Let’s get into it!
Here’s what you’ll need to make these healthy almond butter chocolate cups:
In a large mixing bowl, crush the rye crackers and combine with Rice Krispies, chopped walnuts, almond butter, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly combined.
Scoop the mixture into your silicone mold, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon. This is the mold I used, and I love it! The cups are so easy to remove from it.
Combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Spoon melted chocolate over each mold, ensuring full coverage. Place a fresh raspberry on top of each.
Freeze for 10–15 minutes, then pop out and enjoy your homemade almond butter cups!
This almond butter cup recipe is super versatile! You can swap out the almond butter filling with peanut butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter for a fun twist. Not a fan of dark chocolate? Use milk or white chocolate to make sweeter almond butter chocolate cups. Want to jazz things up? Sprinkle sea salt or chia seeds on top, or drizzle with extra melted chocolate. If you’re out of fresh raspberries, no worries—top your chocolate almond cups with goji berries, crushed nuts, or enjoy them plain for that classic nut butter cup vibe.
Homemade almond butter cups are perfect for meal prep and make-ahead snacking. Keep your dark chocolate almond butter cups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. You can also freeze these healthy almond butter cups for up to three months—just let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating. Whether you’re stocking your freezer or prepping snacks for the week, this almond butter cups recipe is a game changer.
Remember what I said up above? They are perfect. This recipe is easy, satisfying, and made with simple, wholesome ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. They are ready in like 20 minutes, so you can check off the instant gratification box, and they are the perfect mix of creamy, crunchy, sweet and salty. Perfect for gifting or for being greedy – they are gluten free (optional), dairy free (optional), refined sugar free and require no baking whatsoever!
Can you freeze almond butter cups? Yes! Store in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
Can I use peanut butter instead of almond butter? Absolutely. Any nut or seed butter will work.
Do I need a silicone mold? Technically no, but it makes removing the cups way easier and prettier.
How long do they keep? About a week in the fridge, or three months in the freezer.
