Guilt-Free Chocolate Buttons

Guilt-Free Chocolate Buttons

Most of the time chocolate treats are filled with refined sugars that will slow your fitness results. Well, today I have a recipe that uses dark chocolate that will make both your sweet tooth and your waistline very happy.

This treat has endless possibilities in the flavour department. Have fun swapping out the chopped pistachios for shredded coconut, other ground nuts, or crushed freeze dried fruit. Great for stocking fillers!

Servings: 48

Here’s what you need

  • 1 (9oz) bag dark chocolate chips
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
  • ½ cup pistachios, finely chopped
  • 48 pecan halves
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl over a suacepan of simmering water melt the chocolate and coconut oil until smooth.
  2. In a mini mini muffin pan place ½ teaspoon of chopped pistachios in 48 tins. Top with a spoonful of the melted chocolate mixture.
  3. Press a pecan into the top of each button and sprinkle with a pinch of coarse sea salt. Place the buttons in the fridge or freezer to harden. Store in the freezer. Enjoy!
