Delicious Keto Chocolate Butter Cups Recipe

- This recipe was inspired by my love of all things good fats and the joy of indulging in a ‘treat’. While I have always had a sweet tooth, I’ve been able to indulge carefully by choosing higher quality ingredients and most importantly, by looking to the science behind what sugar and bad fats do to our health. This has allowed me to quiet my cravings - the best outcome of all! My trick is to eat more good fats. The good fats satisfy your body’s deepest nutritional needs, leaving little room (or appetite) for junky candy. So when it came time to have children of my own, it was important to me to provide them the same right to balanced health, and a normal relationship with food.
You can substitute any high-quality nut butter you like however, my biggest concerns with peanut butter are aflatoxins from mold and rancidity of the oils.
So, one way I’ve upgraded my diet has been replacing peanuts with other nuts (macadamia, cashew, pili nuts). I love cacao because it is an amazing source of polyphenols; however, most commercial peanut butter cups and other chocolate candies are made with low-quality chocolate and a lot of sugar, so it can negate the goodness of the cacao. Don’t let the three step hardening process of the ingredients fool you; this is an easy recipe and one you will want to hang on to not just when you want to treat yourself, but anytime you want.
No excuses, no guilt. Just delicious-healthy. ;)
Thanks for watching!

Can you tell me what brand of chocolate you have used ?
@@paticlark2112 Hi Pati - thank you for watching! If you are keto then recommend you use 100% dark organic chocolate chips. ~ Naomi
You really are an Angel and I am so grateful for Your help.
Haaa! Naomi! I am on my first day water fast (for five days fast) and I watch this video... but I love it and it makes me happy, thank you! 💕
I'm right there with you... I'm on my 4th day of a water fast watching this video :)
I really love your recipe videos. Can you make one that talks about how much of what herbs to eat in a day? Or is that information in your book?
Love Celtic sea salt :-) Looks delicious!
I make these, well my own version but I use Lily’s chocolate chips and then add my coconut oil and salt and vanilla, also I use the back of my spoon and push the chocolate up the sides of the cup so the peanut butter is encased in the chocolate , I also add sweetness to my sea salt peanut butter and sesame seeds. So good , I just eat one a day but when I’m down sometimes it’s too. You are right they are a life saver.Sometimes I just make my own chocolate with cocoa butter and cocoa and salt
Hummm. Délicieux. Merci.
Looks so yummy.
On a journey to healthy eating. It is nice to know that you can have something healthy. It'll actually work with your body and help you achieve what you really need in your life. Thank you very much👌🥥🍫🥜🧂🍷
OMG!!! Shit up! These look amazing. I can't wait to make these!
are yo adding any type of sweetener in this recipe, can I add stivia for example to the dark chocolate? or no need it will test good without it
Yum
I LOVE chocolate and I buy the pure cacao powder but I'm not SURE my new fav brand is tested for molds. Previously I was getting the cacao powder from Bulletproof brand, but the price for theirs, which IS tested for molds, has recently skyrocketed WAY out of my reach. DO YOU HAVE A BRAND OF CACAO POWDER OR PURE BARS OR NIBS, ETC. TO SUGGEST THAT DOES TEST FOR MOLDS?/MYCOTOXINS? I hope so!! Thanks.
What brand of chocolate are you using?
Does keto chocolate have a fake sugar in it? Where do you find 100% chocolate without sugar? (what are the other ingredients in it?)
And, does monk fruit change your gut bacteria?
Lord take me now I've seen it all
Can’t find recipe?
omg You are so beautiful and so stylish. Your outfit is always so sleek and sophisticated!
How about using a pastry bag? Just a suggestion 😅
How you keep your sweater so clean, my after cooking my clothes are full of spots 😠
I will make them for my husband... I'm allergic to chocolate
I ordered your book (but it's not here yet) and am new to Keto. I have a great need for healing from chronic illness and am willing to do whatever it takes, but there are so many different viewpoints and I still dont know REALLY what to eat! ie. I take NO over the counter or pharma drugs and no other drugs or alcohol. Compared to most Americans I eat RIGHT but I know my gut is not healed yet and have had chronic inflammatory response and now found out I have cardiovascular disease too. There are other "experts" who are talking about lectins and mold toxins with nuts and seeds and so on, and so now I don't know if i can safely eat any nuts or nut or seed butters that you mentioned in this recipe. Some even say cacao is not good due to high lectin although I love pure cacao powder and usually get it from Bulletproof which is tested for mold, but what about the lectin part? AHHHH! Any advice? thank you.
There is a lot of information out there for sure! That is why Naomi works to source and bring to you her exploration and research so you have one place to go to extract the best information. You are starting in a great place which is Naomi's Glow15 book which is a foundation. Naomi offers courses and programs as well - but perhaps you want to work with someone one-on-one locally in your neck of the woods. Checkout ifm.org to find a functional medical practitioner near you - s/he can do a full assessment for you and guide you based on your specific needs. ~ Naomi's Coaching Team
@@naomiwhittel Well I would love to find a FUNCTIONAL practitioner near me but I have been ill for 35 years and now I exist doing almost everything for and by myself. Unless a miracle happens I will not be able to pay for that kind of help. Hence, my trying to get info from her book, etc. It's a shame that the ones who need help the most are usually the same ones who cannot pay the price for REAL health care, or online courses and programs. I'm just doing my best. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
Great video but I’m confused how monk fruit could be optional if you make with 100% cacao? Nobody especially kids would like that...
Good point Matt - but it is like black coffee; some people love black coffee while others could never drink it without cream and sugar. It is all taste preference! Thank you for watching. ~ Naomi's Care Team

Please tell us that your are writing a cookbook...??? :-)
Monica! We are writing a book that will come out at the beginning of next year;)! It will have lots of recipes.
Wonderful! My family and I are so looking forward to it! :-) @@naomiwhittel
you didnt say what nut butter! is it peanut butter?
Hi Robyn! We love macadamia nut butter for this recipe. As for peanut butter...peanuts can contain aflatoxins from mold, especially if the peanuts are grown or stored in a humid environment. And although Naomi doesn't recommend consuming peanuts every day, she does include it in rotation in her High Fiber Keto plan because of the benefits they offer - so in this recipe peanut butter could be terrific! You can look for peanuts/peanut butter that comes from an arid region (like Arizona) or please feel free to substitute the peanuts for almonds or macadamia nuts instead. ~ Naomi's Coaching Team
