Chocolate Crispy Cups with Maple Coconut Tops
We can’t get enough chocolate cups in our home.
There are endless reasons why I love them and the list gets longer every time I make a batch.
Here are a few:
- They take 10 minutes to make
- It is the easiest recipe EVER. My 6 year old can make it without supervision.
- They look like you’ve slaved over them for hours.
- They contain simple, real ingredients that provide benefit to the body.
- You can get creative with so many flavour variations.
- They are a perfect dessert for when company is unexpected. They keep for a long time in the freezer.
- They are okay to have in the morning. You know those mornings where you feel like crawling back into bed at 9 a.m after an exhausting morning routine with the kids?! Insert these and you’ll get back into your zen zone.
- You can make them school safe and pack them for a healthy treat.
- They are great post-workout (instant energy from the coconut oil + glycogen replenishment thanks to the maple syrup.
- THEY ARE REALLY YUMMY. REALLY REALLY YUMMY.
These ones are on the rich side as more coconut oil is used, so keep that portion size still applies and stop at one per day.
