Raw Chocolate Coconut Butter Cups

My favourite naughty chocolate bar is a Bounty bar. I loooove the combination of coconut and chocolate! (If you know me well enough you will know I adore coconut and chocolate and hate mint and chocolate together!)

Well on the weekend I was going to make traditional healthy peanut butter cups and thought why not use my coconut butter instead! And oh my! I am so glad I tried this! So quick and I actually prefer the coconut butter to the peanut butter ones! And it tastes like a Bounty bar! Just a lot healthier and more nutritious. 

Coconut oil and coconut butter are actually really good for you for lots of different health reasons. (Read more on this here). I use coconut oil in smoothies, add 1 tsp in cup of teas and coffees and bake with it. I find it helps me to get a flatter stomach, keeps sugar cravings away, gives me a boost of energy & it keeps me fuller for longer. I love coconut oil and have recently brought a jar to work. 

To make these coconut butter cups I have used coconut butter bought in a health food shop. 

So next time you crave a Bounty Bar - make my raw chocolate coconut butter cups!
