Meet Your New Favorite (Healthy) Treat

In the history of delish food duos, some pairings reign supreme: Mac and cheese, pancakes and maple syrup, and—of course—peanut butter and chocolate. We swapped almond butter for peanut and used raw cacao honey in place of sugary chocolate to create cups that deliver in flavor, healthy fats, and antioxidants, minus the refined-sugar crash.

Whether you’re pot-lucking, packing your kids’ lunch, or just trying to calm an insatiable sweet tooth, make these morsels your go-to.
