These no bake Chocolate Almond Butter Berry Cups topped with sea salt are dairy free, gluten free, paleo, raw, vegetarian and vegan!
I did it! I did it! I did it! I made these Chocolate Almond Butter Berry Cups and they are way better than anything you can find in stores. I even got high praises from John, a self-proclaimed peanut butter cup connoisseur. If I remember correctly, I think he said something like…
“These are so f***ing good.”
Yep. I’m dropping the mic.
It’s hard to go wrong with a chocolate and almond butter combination, right?
Well, when I told John I had added some dried blueberries and cranberries to the mix, he gasped. How dare I try to improve the well-loved nut butter and chocolate combo. You’re going to ruin it!
All it took was one bite.
Topped with a little Himalayan pink sea salt, these super rich Chocolate Almond Butter Berry Cups contain no added sugar, require no baking or cooking and are easy to make. I used the allergen-friendly Enjoy Life Mega Chunks semi-sweet chocolate, making them dairy free as well.
I think I know what’s for dessert tonight.
