Crunchy Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups

These Crunchy Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups are everything you could ever ask for in a chocolate treat. They are naturally sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy - you're welcome! Made with almond butter, crushed rye crackers, Rice Krispies, and a luscious layer of dark chocolate, these nut butter cups are easy to make, dairy-free, and way healthier than anything you’ll find in the candy aisle. No baking needed, and ready in just 20 minutes!

Crunchy Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups

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!

Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cup Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these healthy almond butter chocolate cups:

  • Almond butter: Creamy, rich, and full of good fats and protein, this is the star of the filling.
  • Dark chocolate chips: A bold, slightly bitter contrast to the sweet filling. Choose high-quality chocolate!
  • Coconut oil: Helps the chocolate melt smoothly and adds a slight sheen.
  • Maple syrup: Just enough sweetness to bring everything together.
  • Sourdough rye crackers: Crushed to create a salty, crunchy base—FINN CRISP is our fave. Truly, any cracker will do; you could even use graham if you want.
  • Rice Krispies: Light and crispy, they add texture and structure.
  • Walnuts: Finely chopped for extra crunch and nutty flavor. Omit nuts if you can’t eat them or switch up the nuts if you fancy.
  • Fresh raspberries: A juicy, tart topping that adds color and balance. Use whatever fruit you want, I just love the combination of dark chocolate and raspberries!

How To Make Almond Butter Cups

Make the base

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.

Fill the molds

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.

Melt the chocolate

Combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30-second intervals until smooth.

Top it off

Spoon melted chocolate over each mold, ensuring full coverage. Place a fresh raspberry on top of each.

Set and serve

Freeze for 10–15 minutes, then pop out and enjoy your homemade almond butter cups!

Ways to Customize Your Nut 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.

How To Store Almond Butter Cups

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.

Tips and Tricks for These Homemade Nut Butter Cups

  • Use silicone molds—they make popping the cups out so much easier.
  • Don’t skip the chill time! It’s what helps the chocolate harden perfectly.
  • Use high-quality chocolate and almond butter for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you want less sweet, reduce the maple syrup or choose an unsweetened almond butter.

Why You’ll Love These Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups

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.

Homemade Almond Butter Cups FAQ

Notes

I used my favorite sourdough rye thins from FINN CRISP. As they are packed with fiber, they are super crunchy, and they taste amazing. If these aren’t available to you, you can use any cracker of your choice.
I used pure dark chocolate for this recipe as it is a great counterpart to the sweetness of the base. If you are not a fan of dark chocolate, this recipe would be delicious with white or milk chocolate.
I topped these cups with fresh raspberries, which added a delicious fruity and tangy taste! Feel free to add any berry of choice!
Here is the mold I used for this recipe!

Hazelnut Chocolate Matcha Latte Cups

This is a fun and easy recipe that is sure to win your heart! If you love lattes, Ferrero Rocher or chocolate then you're going to love these Hazelnut Chocolate Matcha Latte Cups! Combining the earthy, antioxidant-rich matcha green tea with creamy vegan white chocolate and a rich hazelnut cacao spread, these chocolates offer a gourmet experience that's both delightful and surprisingly simple to create.

Homemade Chocolate Treats That Everyone Will Love!

Welcome, latte lovers and chocolate enthusiasts! Prepare to be enchanted by my Hazelnut Chocolate Matcha Latte Cups! They are a creation that came out of too many desires and a bunch of my favorite ingredients. Imagine the earthy tones of premium matcha green tea, paired with the creamy richness of hazelnut chocolate—each bite is a journey through layers of sophisticated flavor and texture.

Perfect for those who appreciate the subtle artistry in their sweets, these chocolates are designed to impress. So whether you’re looking to add a special touch to your dessert menu, or simply enjoy a luxurious treat with your afternoon coffee, these Hazelnut Chocolate Matcha Latte Cups promise a taste that’s as enjoyable to make as it is to savor.

Ingredients for Hazelnut Chocolate Matcha Latte Cups

  • Vegan White Chocolate: Provides a creamy, rich base for the chocolates, offering a sweet contrast to the matcha’s bitterness. If vegan white chocolate is unavailable, any high-quality white chocolate can be substituted for similar results.
  • Coconut Oil: Helps to smooth out the chocolate mixture, making it easier to work with while enhancing the creamy texture. 
  • Matcha Powder: Adds the signature green tea flavor and a boost of antioxidants. For a lighter matcha taste, adjust the quantity or use a lower-grade matcha.
  • Hazelnut Cacao Spread: Fills each chocolate cup with a lush, nutty layer that mimics the flavor of popular spreads like Nutella but in a healthier, all-natural form. Almond butter, cacao butter or any other nut butter can be used as a substitute if desired.
  • Cacao Nibs: Provide a crunchy texture and a pure, bitter chocolate flavor to the tops of the chocolates, complementing the sweetness within. Optional, but recommended for texture lovers.

How to Make These Hazelnut Chocolate Matcha Latte Cups

Begin by preparing your matcha chocolate. Melt the vegan white chocolate with coconut oil in a bowl, stirring until you achieve a smooth consistency. Then, whisk in the matcha powder until fully integrated and smooth. Next, take this vibrant green chocolate mixture and carefully pour a teaspoon into each of your chosen molds (I used these ones), swirling it around to ensure the sides are well coated. Place the molds in the freezer for a few minutes to set the chocolate base.

Once the bases are firm, it’s time to fill and seal your chocolate cups. Spoon a generous amount of hazelnut cacao spread into each cup, filling them just enough to leave room for a final layer of matcha chocolate. Pour the remaining matcha chocolate over the hazelnut spread to seal the cups. Sprinkle cacao nibs on top for an extra crunch and a touch of visual flair. Return the molds to the freezer and allow the chocolates to set completely. Once totally solid, pop the chocolates out of the molds and transfer them to an airtight container. Store them in the fridge or freezer to keep them fresh and ready to enjoy whenever the craving strikes!

So What is Matcha?

Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves. Renowned for its vibrant color and multitude of health benefits, matcha contains antioxidants and provides a unique, earthy flavor that’s become incredibly popular in various beverages and desserts worldwide.

Do Matcha and Chocolate Pair Well?

Let this recipe convince you! The slightly bitter flavor of matcha perfectly complements the sweetness of white chocolate, creating a sophisticated flavor profile. When paired with the nuttiness of hazelnut and the richness of cacao, matcha brings a refreshing balance to these indulgent treats, making each bite a mix of deliciousness!

Looking for Other Ways to Use Matcha?

Matcha is incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes beyond drinks and desserts. Try incorporating matcha into smoothies for an antioxidant boost, sprinkle it over oatmeal for a morning pick-me-up, or blend it into your baking recipes for a colorful and healthy twist.

Equipment

  • microwave, silicone mold, freezer

Ingredients

  • 16 oz vegan white chocolate
  • 1½ tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tsp matcha powder
  • 1½ cups hazelnut cacao spread
  • cacao nibs

Instructions

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add the vegan white chocolate, and coconut oil and microwave in 30-second increments until completely melted.
  • Next whisk in the matcha powder until thoroughly combined.
  • Grab a silicone Reese’s chocolate mold and spoon approximately 1/2-1 tsp of the matcha chocolate into each mold and using the back of a spoon, swipe the chocolate up the sides of each mold to cover both the base and sides.
  • Transfer the mold to the freezer and allow to set. (Approx 2 minutes)
  • Remove the mold from the freezer and spoon a teaspoon of hazelnut cacao spread into each chocolate shell.
  • Next spoon some more matcha chocolate, to cover. Fill all the way to the top.
  • Sprinkle with cacao nibs and return to the freezer to set.
  • Repeat until all chocolates are made. And set.
  • Once set. Pop each chocolate out of their molds and store in an airtight container in either the fridge or freezer

Notes

** I used silicone molds that are shaped perfectly for Reese’s inspired chocolates. These are the ones I used, click here
** This recipe requires hazelnut chocolate spread. I always opt for natural versions of my favorite items. I used ARTISANA hazelnut cacao spread. It tastes just like Nutella! But it’s all natural, organic, no palm oil and full of vitamins from natural cacao.
** The cacao nibs on top are optional. They add not only a fun crunch but a natural chocolate bitterness. So if you’re not a fan please simply omit from the recipe.

Citrus No Bake Vegan Mini Cheesecake Roses

This Valentine's, or any day you feel like spreading some love, make this amazingly cute little Citrus No Bake Vegan Cheesecake Roses. These mini cheesecakes combine the tanginess of citrus with the richness of vegan cream cheese, all nestled in a crunchy graham cracker crust. They're dairy-free, gluten-free, and absolutely no-bake, making them an easy dessert choice for everyone to enjoy.

Vegan Cheesecake No Bake

What would this world be like if cheesecake didn’t exist?? I don’t even want to think about it! I remember when I chose to stop eating dairy products I was absolutely gutted by the idea of not having cheesecake anymore!! Fast forward some time now and I am happily making these vegan mini cheesecakes and enjoying every bite! I’ve fooled a few folks and pleased even more with these goodies and I am so excited for you to try them!

Today we’re embracing the art of no-bake desserts with a citrus twist! My Citrus No Bake Vegan Cheesecake Roses are not just desserts; they’re a celebration of vibrant flavors, textures, and the joy of plant-based baking. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, special occasions, or whenever you crave a sweet, guilt-free indulgence, these cheesecakes are sure to impress. I’m also truly obsessed with the crust of these cheesecakes, I love graham crackers and there is nothing better than finding a vegan graham cracker that you can turn into the perfect crust for a no bake cheesecake. What sets these vegan mini cheesecakes aside from the rest is that they are adorably made into little roses which make them really precious in appearance. All of the ingredients are simple and easy to find which also makes these babies a winner! It’s time to fall in love with these dairy free cheesecakes, let’s dig in! 

Ingredient for Vegan Cheesecakes

  • Vegan Cream Cheese: Vegan cream cheese might be the best thing since sliced bread! I love having this ingredient in my kitchen because I often use it in so many different ways; today it is the base of our cheesecake, providing a creamy, rich texture and depth of flavor without any dairy!
  • Confectioners’ Sugar: Adds sweetness and helps to smooth out the cream cheese mixture without any granular textures.
  • Citrus Zest: Infuses the cheesecakes with a bright, aromatic flavor that compliments the sweetness perfectly.
  • Sumo Citrus Juice or Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice: You can use any citrus of your choice, I went with sumo citrus because I love that they are sweet and fragrant and not overly sour. It adds the perfect amount of freshness to these cheesecake roses.
  • Vegan Cream: Adds lightness and airiness to the filling, making it fluffy and delightful.

Graham Cracker Crust

  • Vegan Graham Crackers: Winners in my eyes, I don’t want a cheesecake if it doesn’t have a graham cracker crust… Okay maybe that’s a lie but they definitely stand out among all others! Using gluten free graham crackers creates a sweet, crunchy base that contrasts beautifully with the creamy filling.
  • Granulated Sugar: Enhances the sweetness and helps bind the crust together.
  • Vegan Butter: Adds richness and ensures the crust holds its shape perfectly.

How to Make Vegan Cheesecake Cups

Creating these mini cheesecake roses is a sweet process; no pun intended. Start with mixing the creamy filling, spoon it into your chosen silicone moulds, and let the freezer do the rest. I want to note that you can use any mold but if you’re interested in making them rose shaped like mine, click here. A sweet graham cracker base adds the perfect crunch to each bite, creating a dessert that’s as multi-dimensional in texture as it is in taste. Once your mini cheesecakes have hardened it’s time to add your crust to the top by mixing all the ingredients and pressing it into each mould – put it back in the freezer until they are both hardened and then it’s time to decorate. 

These dairy free cheesecakes are ready to eat once everything has settled and you can pop them out of the mould without crumbling. If you choose to garnish your cheesecake you could consider an assortment of fresh fruits like berries or mango slices, a dollop of vegan whipped cream, or a drizzle of vegan caramel or chocolate sauce for an extra touch of decadence. 

How to Store Leftover Cheesecake

Leftover cheesecakes can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for a longer shelf life. Ensure they’re tightly covered or stored in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and prevent any freezer burn. I’ll be surprised if there are any left to store for a later date; they honestly are irresistible! 

Tips For Making Vegan No Bake Cheesecake Mini Cakes

  • Sumo citrus adds an exceptional sweetness and fragrance, but feel free to use your favorite citrus fruit.
  • Silicone rose moulds add a special touch, but muffin moulds work great for a simple yet elegant dessert. You can purchase the same rose moulds as I used here.
