Mini Dark Chocolate Cashew Nut Butter Cups are a great little guilt-free sweet treat. Made with dark chocolate & nut butter for a super easy snack or dessert that comes together quickly. Paleo friendly, No added refined sugars, & Gluten free.

And when it comes to snacking sometimes you just need a little chocolate! Am I right?

But you also want to Enjoy it without all the added guilt. So guess what, I’ve got you covered with these Mini Dark Chocolate Cashew Nut Butter Cups ! ⇐ You’re so welcome friends!

Plus with Easter being just 3 short days away you may want to make a few of these for the Easter basket! Or even just yourself!

Cause they do come together rather quickly & only require 4 ingredients. So you can whip up a batch or two in plenty of time before Easter.

Healthy chocolate treats with a little added protein….what’s not to love about that? You could also use another nut butter if you’re not a fan of cashews.

Cashews just happen to be a favorite around our house & I even forgot how much our furry feline friend loves them too. Yes you heard me right, I have a cashew loving cat. No shame in her game. Haha!

Although cashews are not really something I recommend feeding your cats, no one gave her the memo…. and anytime I’m eating them or cheese you will find Miss Lola bean right there.

So even though she volunteered to sample these little treats for me, I had to let the hubby be the judge and they appeared to pass his expectations since he commented…”these are so wonderful”.

Guess we’ll be eating lots of these cups this Easter, probably along with some of this salad & deviled eggs of course. Don’t you just love all the food that goes along with certain holidays?

Ya know deviled eggs are just a given for Easter at our house…well that & nut butter cups.

But if you need more reasons to make these, I’ll just make it easy for you with my handy dandy little list below.
