- Drop a small spoonful of the almond butter (2-3 teaspoons) into the center of each cup.

Notes
These can be stored in the fridge or freezer! When ready to serve, take out of freezer 15 minutes – ½ hour before (depending on the temperature.) These WILL get very melty if left out too long in a warm-ish environment.
These are also delicious with peanut butter! Play with the sweetener and cocoa powder, you may like it less sweet, more sweet, less chocolate-y, more chocolate-y, salted, crunchy… the options are many… make them your own!
