3-Ingredient Crispy Chocolate SunButter Cups

Once a year at my daughter's school there is a schoolwide enrichment day. On this day off, students choose an enriching activity and report on it when they go back to school. It can be cooking, a science experiment, going to work with a parent, etc. There are so many creative things that the students can do. My daughter chose to do a recipe. Since she is in a nut-free classroom, we made sure the recipe could be enjoyed by everyone. We really enjoy making vegan desserts, and this one was fun to make.

Have you tried SunButter? This product is absolutely wonderful. SunButter is sunflower seed butter made from sunflower seeds and can be used as a nut butter substitute for people with nut allergies. It has a taste and texture similar to peanut butter, and it also has some pretty great benefits. Sunflower seeds help improve cholesterol levels, help improve bone health with minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and copper, and also help control blood sugar. These are only a few of the benefits. There are many more. Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of protein and contain as much as 40% of your recommended daily intake in a single 100g serving. Try adding some to your recipes, too!
