These Keto Almond Butter Cups are the perfect healthy alternative to peanut butter cups that you'll definitely want to have on hand all the time!

Melt cocoa butter or alternative over very low heat. This is important. If you heat the oil too high, the chocolate coating won't blend well.
Add other chocolate ingredients and mix well. An immersion blender works great for this.
Spoon a small amount of the melted chocolate to the molds, using just enough so you have the thickness that you'd like the chocolate cup coating to be.
Place mold in fridge to harden while you make the filling.
For filling, combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Place filling in freezer to firm.
When filling is more firm, remove from freezer and shape into tiny balls.
Place one small ball of filling into each mold, on top of the hardened chocolate.
Spoon the remaining chocolate all over the filling and fill the mold.
Level off the mold with a knife, if desired, for a nicely shaped candy.
Chill until firm and store in fridge or freezer (if you can keep out of them that long).

Cocoa Butter/Coconut Oil: Cocoa butter is solid at room temperature, while coconut oil softens easily. For easier measuring, gently melt first, then measure the amount needed. You can also use the water displacement method if preferred.
Mold Tips: Silicone molds work best for easy removal. If you don’t have molds, you can use lined muffin cups. Avoid rigid pans, as the cups can stick and break when removing.
Sweetener Tips: If using stevia, amounts can vary depending on the brand and form (liquid vs. powdered). Adjust to taste, and see my guide to using stevia for more help.
