Chocolate Almond Butter Candies
Makes 10
If you are in the camp that loves those chocolate peanut butter cups (and who
isn’t?), then you’ll love these delightful candies that adhere surprisingly well to the
Paleo plan. While they aren’t nearly as sweet as what they are modeled after, they
are surprisingly satisfying and, with only two ingredients, don’t have any of the bad
stuff you get from the store-bought variety. Make sure that the almond butter you
use for these contains almonds only for best results.
