The shell is a raw chocolate made from cacao powder so they are dark with a rich depth of flavour.

You can replace the maple syrup with date syrup or agave nectar or any other liquid sweetener. Use any nut you like to sprinkle on top.

I’ve also made versions of this from seeds using sunflower seed butter and tahini (pulped sesame seeds).

Seeds make a butter cup that has an earthy taste.

My favourite combination is raw chocolate with a tahini centre topped with shelled hemp seeds.

    1. Hi, they would last months in the freezer. Often the freezer is the best place to store ingredients like nuts to keep them fresh 🙂
