Nut Butter Cups

We love these Nut Butter Cups made with Raw Cacao, Organic Coconut Oil, Honey, Maple Syrup, and Organic Vanilla Extra and your favorite Raw Nut Butter!  Our favorite is homemade Cashew Butter, but you can use any Nut Butter that you love.  

Instructions: Simply follow our Homemade Healthy Chocolate recipe. Click here for recipe.  When pouring your chocolate into your waxed baking cups, just pour enough to cover the bottom of the baking cup, and set the rest of the chocolate mixture aside.  Place the raw chocolate filled baking cups in the freezer until hard (about 10 minutes).  In the meantime, prepare your nut butter or use your favorite purchased raw nut butter.  Remove chilled chocolate and gently spoon your nut butter on top and place into the freezer one more time (just until the nut butter adheres to the chocolate).  Last step is to spoon the remaining chocolate on top of the nut butter and place in freezer for final hardening.  

Remember, this recipe is made with coconut oil so these Nut Butter Cups should be kept in the refrigerator.  Enjoy!!!!

Chocolate Covered Brazil Nuts

Cacao Covered Brazil Nuts made with Raw Cacao, Coconut Oil & Raw Honey (see my healthy chocolate recipe) are not only delicious but they are nutritious.  

Of course you can use any kind of nut you like or even a variety of raw nuts together, I like to keep raw Brazil nuts on hand for the specific mineral benefits that I need in my nutrition protocol. 1 of Brazil Nuts can provide about 20% of the daily value of phosphorus, 8% of the daily value of zinc, 15% of the daily value of manganese, 25% of the daily value of magnesium and 780% of the daily value of selenium. Not to mention Brazil nuts are a great source of Thiamine and Vitamin E.  

One of the many cool facts about Cacao, besides that fact that it tastes good, is that it is the highest source of magnesium and chromium of any food! Magnesium is the most deficient mineral in the average human. All of the compounds found in raw cacao benefits longevity in humans. For my healthy chocolate recipe with Raw Cacao, click here.
