We <3 Chocolate Almond Butter Cups
These raspberry chocolate almond butter cups are pretty much out of this world. They’re creamy, chocolatey, and have a hint of raspberry to them. We turned to Instagram to ask for some interesting flavor combinations for our famous “nut butter cups” or “fat bombs” and freeze-dried raspberries kept coming up! Obviously, this caught my attention and I immediately went to Trader Joe’s to pick some up. Don’t have a Trader Joe’s near you? I found some really great Amazon options HERE, HERE, and HERE. I’ve never actually cooked with freeze-dried raspberries, but they are such a fun addition to an almond butter cup.Here’s what you need:
- All-natural almond butter
- Freeze-dried raspberries
- Coconut oil
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder
Best Almond Butters
If you’re wondering what kind of DRIPPY almond butter I like, my suggestions are Kirkland brand from Costco, Trader Joe’s brand, and Fresh Thyme’s brand. I stress drippy because drippy usually means all-natural AKA no additives, which is what I like to look for.More Fat Bombs

This sounds like a wonderful AB+J cup to me! If you ask me what my favorite candy is, it would be a Reese’s! However, I always wondered why they never made a peanut butter and jelly cup because it would be SUCH A hit. Anyhow, it looks like you’ve done it already, which goes to show that you can make the candy you want right at home! I’ll have to try this with Lakanto’s monkfruit maple syrup and CRUNCHY almond butter because I am Team Crunchy ALL THE WAY! LOL!
