I can’t believe Halloween is at the end of the month! Rob and I are headed to Chile and will be gone for Halloween so I thought I would start celebrating early by making some sweet and salty treats!
Nut butter cups are hands down one of my favorite desserts! I love the sweet and salty combo from the chocolate and the nut butter. I love Justin’s White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and Eating Evolved’s Caramel Coconut Butter Cups, but lately I rather make my own… probably because I fill them with more nut butter and chocolate!
They’re just so tasty and the perfect treat to keep stashed in your freezer when your dessert craving hits!
I recently tried pecan butter for the first time. I’ve been hooked on cashew butter lately and I haven’t wanted to eat any other type of nut butter. As soon as I tried pecan butter I knew right away that I needed to make pecan butter cups!! I made both dark chocolate and white chocolate because I couldn’t decide which kind to make! Hope you guys enjoy =)
