    These Inside Out Almond Butter Cups are creamy, not too sweet and a great little snack when you have a bit of a sweet tooth.

    The almond butter layer is made of coconut oil, vanilla and almonds. I made my own almond butter for this recipe by grinding 1 cup of raw, sprouted almonds in a food processor until creamy.

    Alternatively, you can use store bought almond butter and simply melt it by placing the jar in a bowl of hot water. This mixture melts fast because of the coconut oil, so it is best to store them in the freezer.

    Also, if you like to add some sweetness to this snack, I suggest you add a tablespoon of honey to the mixture.

    The chocolate layer is made with a smooth homemade chocolate that literally melts in your mouth. To achieve this decadence, I used cacao butter and cacao paste, two main ingredients used in fine chocolate. You could however use a high quality dark chocolate.
