Minty Coconut Butter Chocolate Cups
A very easy chocolate treat that is dairy, gluten free as well as nut free, unless you count coconut as a nut...is it? Jury is still out!
I have a friend of the family coming to stay. No pressure at all. She is gluten, dairy, egg, almond, banana and a few other things intolerant. (Insert scared face!!) But I do love a good challenge. I have to admit no eggs is a tough one when combined with everything else she cannot have. I am a dessert queen and have to offer at least something delish that ticks all the boxes...this was the answer. Thank goodness sugar free was not on that list...some things have to give right?
Hopefully she’ll love them and eat them all, as I am a bit too fond of them and my skinny jeans just don’t like it!
