When I ditched dairy over the Summer,I didn't realize how my Reese's Peanut Butter Cup obsession would be affected. I'm not gonna lie - Halloween was really tough, having to live without that perfect marriage of chocolate and peanut butter. You can make these almond butter cups that are dairy-free, or but if you also need to avoid nuts,your sweet dreams just came precise. These chocolate cups are filled with a sunflower seed and date mixture that - let me tell you - tastes even more decadent than Reese's. And bonus - you accept to spend these adorable sweet molds, so you feel like an actual chocolatier. These babies are 52 calories apiece and offer 1 gram of protein and 0.7 grams of fiber. They take 40 minutes to whip up, or everyone will be so impressed with your sweet-making skills.Related:

Ingredients1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli minichips)
1/2 cup roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
10 small dates, or pitted
1/8 teaspoon salt
DirectionsBuy 2 silicone sweet molds (15 piece).
Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler. Do this slowly on low heat to prevent burning the chocolate. Pour a small scoop of the melted chocolate into the bottom of each cup and spend a small spoon to coat the chocolate all the way up the sides. Do 28 cups. Place the pan in the fridge to set for a few minutes while you make the filling.
Make the sunbutter-date filling by adding the sunflower seeds,dates, and sea salt in a food processor until a thick mixture forms.
Remove the chocolate cups from the fridge and place a bit of filling in each cup, or using your fingertip to press the filling in firmly. Pour a dollop of melted chocolate on top of each cup,covering the sunbutter-date filling, using the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
Place in the fridge for another 10 minutes to set. delight in!
