I’m always on the lookout for quick and delicious snacks to have on hand. These Almond Butter Pecan Cups are super addictive but the best part about them is that they are packed with REALLY healthy ingredients. You will need one, two at most to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Bake Believe dark chocolate chips
• 3 tbsp pyure
• 1/2 cup almond butter (WITHOUT added sugar)
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 tbsp hemp seeds
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
• 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
• 3 tbsp Bake Believe white baking chips (chopped)

Instructions
1. You will need a 24 cavity mini cupcake pan (or treat mold) and a cookie sheet that is a bit larger than the pan. Lay the silicone pan on the cookie sheet and set a side.

2. Melt 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips and 2 tbsp of sweetener in a small microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments. 

3. Add almond butter, chia seeds, hemp seeds and the melted chocolate to a food processor, blend for 1 minute or until fully combined.

4. Using a small melon scoop divide the chocolate mixture evenly. This mix will exactly fill the pan. Place the pan in the freezer to firm up while working on the next step.

5. Add chopped pecans, 1 tbsp of sweetener and butter to a small saucepan and cook until butter is golden brown. Whisk in 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum. Set a side.

6. Take the pan out of the freezer. Sprinkle shredded coconut over the chocolate followed by the chopped white chocolate chips. Finally, top the chocolate chips with the candied pecans.

7. Return the pan to the freezer for a couple more hours to completely firm up. Keep them stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
