Paleo Vegan Chocolate Cashew Butter Swirled Candy Cups

For those who follow a Paleo or vegan diet, these delicious chocolate cashew butter swirl candy cups are a great treat. Rich chocolate and creamy cashew butter are perfectly balanced in these simple-to-make treats. They also make for a guilt-free treat

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Paleo chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup cashew butter unsweetened and Paleo-friendly
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or a Paleo sweetener of your choice
• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

Melt the Paleo chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted and smooth

In a separate bowl, mix the cashew butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined

Line a mini muffin tin with mini muffin liners

Pour a small amount of the melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin liner, just enough to cover the bottom

Add a small spoonful of the cashew butter mixture on top of the chocolate layer in each liner

Using a toothpick or a skewer, swirl the cashew butter mixture into the chocolate to create a marbled effect

Repeat the process with the remaining chocolate and cashew butter mixture, making sure to swirl each cup for that beautiful design

Place the muffin tin in the freezer and let the candy cups set for about 20-30 minutes or until firm

Once firm, remove the candy cups from the muffin tin and store them in an airtight container in the freezer or refrigerator until ready to enjoy
