Hey there, fellow midnight snackers! 🌙✨ As someone who’s totally been there – tossing and turning in bed while my stomach growls like a hungry bear – I’ve got the perfect keto-friendly treat that’ll satisfy those late-night cravings without derailing your low-carb lifestyle.
Let me introduce you to my absolutely divine Chocolate-Almond Butter Keto Cups! They’re like those famous peanut butter cups you used to devour pre-keto, but honey, these are SO much better for your waistline (and honestly, they taste even more indulgent!).
What you’ll need (makes 6 cups):
– 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
– 3 tablespoons coconut oil
– 1/4 cup creamy almond butter
– 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol
– Pinch of sea salt
– Optional: chopped almonds for topping
Girl, let me walk you through this super easy process (trust me, if I can do this at midnight while wearing my favorite fuzzy socks, you’ve got this! 👊)
Instructions:
1. Line a mini muffin tin with 6 paper liners (or silicone ones if you’re fancy like that)
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth
3. Pour about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each liner (just enough to cover the bottom)
4. Pop these babies in the freezer for 5 minutes
While those are chilling (like us on a Friday night 💁♀️), let’s make the filling:
1. Mix almond butter, remaining coconut oil, erythritol, and salt until smooth
2. Take your cups out of the freezer and add a small dollop of the almond butter mixture
3. Top with remaining chocolate and sprinkle with chopped almonds if desired
4. Back to the freezer for 15-20 minutes

The best part? Each cup only has 2g net carbs! Store these little pieces of heaven in the fridge, and they’ll be ready whenever those midnight munchies strike. Though between us girls, they rarely last more than a couple of days in my house!
Pro tip: Keep these hidden in the back of your fridge behind the vegetables – trust me, your family will find them otherwise! 😅
