5tbspvirgin coconut oil(solid, not a liquid coconut oil for cooking)
½tspcoarse Kosher salt(if using table salt, use half the amount)
2tbsppure maple syrup or honey
1cupcreamy or crunchy, all-natural almond butter
3-4tbspunsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
Measure the coconut oil into a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for 45-60 seconds to melt the coconut oil. Stir in the salt, maple syrup and almond butter. Make sure it's well combined, so the salt is evenly distributed.
Stir in the cocoa powder until well combined.
Taste the mixture, and see if you want to add a pinch more salt, or even a little stevia to make it a touch sweeter.
Place 24 mini paper cupcake liners in your mini cupcake pan. Fill each one with about a tablespoon of the chocolate mixture, dividing it evenly between each.
Place the pan in the freezer. Freeze the chocolate almond butter bites for several hours until firm.
Remove from the pan, and place them in a ziplock freezer bag. Keep them frozen for up to 3-6 months. Enjoy the chocolate almond bites frozen, or thawed for just 2-3 minutes.
