Today’s National Chocolate Day, and what better way to celebrate than with chocolate!
These will take care of those chocolate cravings and won’t cause your blood sugar to spike, which is awesome to give as a treat to the kids, or just keep for yourself.
It’s basically a Reese’s Cup that is actually good for you. Have you looked at the ingredients list of an actual Reese’s Cup? It’s scary – and I’m not just saying that because it’s almost Halloween.

1 cup dark choc (chopped, melted)
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup nut butter, almond or cashew

2. Remove bowl from the heat and stir the chocolate mixture until fully melted and smooth.
