Coconut Almond Butter Cups
Why buy expensive peanut butter sweets when you can make a cheaper healthier version at home? You can blitz up the simple filling of coconut and almonds in your mixer and then melt the lovely dark chocolate... it really is the mixer that can do everything! Be aware that while dark chocolate has LESS sugar, it still has SOME sugar, so these are a lower carb treat to be enjoyed in moderation.
