Vegan Almond Butter Cups
It's no secret that chocolate is my jam. It's been a while since I've made my own and I figured that it's about time to change that.
More healthy fats popping up in my diet lately. A very good thing, I believe. I want to do a whole post on digestion soon, when I can type again. My finger got into a fight with a knife the other day and the knife won. Let's just all take a moment to be grateful that the tip of my finger is still attached because it sure was a close one. Anyways, digestion post. Stay tuned for that; but to sum it up really quick lets just say that I've been making some changes and I have more that I want to make to try and get my body working properly. Ah, life.
On to the important topic of the day; almond butter cups. All natural ingredients that are good for your body and soul. Mmm. Simple to make. You can have a batch made in 30 minutes, no problem. Probably best for those of us living in cooler climates if you want to take them places. But still a great snack to grab out of the fridge for the lucky ones living in warm places too. And on that note; let's get to it.
