I’m big on night time routines, and I’ve had the same one for a while: tea, chocolate, curled up on the couch watching a show or reading a book. It makes me happy, and it always caps off my day with the perfect amount of sweetness and relaxation. For a long time, my chocolate of choice has been Eating Evolved Coconut Butter Cups. They are SO GOOD, but they are also not cheap at $3 for 2 cups. And as of 2023, they have been DISCONTINUED. The horror!

Luckily for us, they aren’t too hard to make. This DIY coconut butter cup is just as good, if not better, than the original Evolved Chocolate coconut butter cups. By using toasted coconut butter (which is easy to make and beyond delicious), we make the filling even more luscious, with a delicious caramel-like flavor.

How to make homemade toasted coconut butter

Making homemade toasted coconut butter is pretty easy, and only required one ingredient: coconut! Essentially, you toast it until golden. Then, blitz it in a blender until it’s broken down in a smooth paste.

If you’d rather make these with regular coconut butter, you can do that too.

Making homemade chocolate

I’ve always loved using homemade dark chocolate for my homemade candy recipes. It’s way easier than you’d think!

I’ve generally used coconut oil because I always have it on hand, but I can sometimes annoyed at how quickly it melts on a warm day, making these a little messier. This time when I started to make the chocolate, I tried cacao butter instead. GAME CHANGER.

The cacao butter makes the chocolate way more shelf-stable. It doesn’t melt nearly as easily as coconut oil, giving these a much more classic chocolatey texture and flavor.

Rather use store-bought chocolate? No problem! Simply substitute 1 cup of your favorite chocolate. It could be a coconut sugar sweetener version to keep these paleo friendly, or a sugar-free chocolate to turn these into homemade chocolate keto cups!

These homemade coconut butter cups couldn’t be easier to make, and they’re absolutely delicious! They keep well in the fridge or freezer indefinitely. They’ve certainly never lasted long enough to go back at my house. I hope you love them as much as I do!

Description

These Toasted Coconut Butter Cups are made with just four simple ingredients. Toasted coconut butter is the star of the show, encased in decadent dark chocolate for a healthy homemade candy. These are reminiscent of my favorite discontinued Eating Evolved coconut butter cups!

Ingredients

Scale

For the homemade chocolate

  • ½ cup (112g) cacao butter, recommended, OR coconut oil melted 
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 3–4 tablespoons maple syrup, to taste

OR you can use 1 cup dark chocolate chips, use sugar free chocolate chips to make this recipe keto

For the filling

  • ¾ cup toasted coconut butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Line a muffin tin with 12 liners. Set aside.
  2. Begin with melting the cacao butter, if using, by chopping it very finely. Place in a liquid measuring cup and melt in 20 second increments, stirring between each, until fully melted. It can also be melted over a double boiler. Coconut oil can be melted in the microwave in 30 seconds to a minute.
  3. In the same liquid measuring cup, whisk together the melted cacao butter or coconut oil, cocoa powder, and 3 tablespoons maple syrup. Taste it, and add more maple syrup if you want it sweeter. You can also add more cocoa powder if you want it darker.
  4. If using the chocolate chips, melt in the microwave or over the stove until fully melted.
  5. Pour a small amount of the chocolate mixture into the bottom of each liner or mold cavity, until the bottom is thinly covered. Don’t use more than half the chocolate mixture for this. Tilt the pan slightly in each direction to bring the chocolate up the sides of each liner a bit. Place the liners in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to harden.
  6. While the chocolate hardens, melt the coconut butter to a liquid state if it’s not already there. This can be done in about 30 seconds in the microwave – take care not to burn it!
  7. Once the bottom layer of chocolate is hard, place about 1 tablespoon of the toasted coconut butter over the chocolate. Pour enough of the chocolate mixture over the coconut butter to cover it completely (if at any point the remaining chocolate gets too thick, warm it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to remelt). Repeat until all are covered. Return to the refrigerator to harden completely.
  8. Store at cool room temperature or in the refrigerator (definitely in the fridge if you’re using coconut oil).
