Crunchy Chocolate Sunbutter Cups

Jump to Recipe

Chocolate and SunButter are combined with a crunchy twist to create these mini bites of goodness.

Several years ago, I created theseย Crunchy Chocolate SunButter Cups but today, I bring it to you, revived, refreshed and with a tasty little video to hopefully tempt you even more.


Easy, no-bake, Crunchy Chocolate SunButter Cups

Do you know what I miss? Out of all of the foods we’ve removed from our diet, I miss Reese’s cups. Does that sound crazy? Meat–nah, dairy–not at all, eggs–sometimes, but Reese’s PB Cups– all the time. That never-ending PB + chocolate craving is why I’ve made so many allergy-friendly recipes on the blog using that combination. Some of our faves are:

  • SunButter Protein Cups
  • Chocolate Banana SunButter Bites
  • Chocolate Sunbutter Surprise Cupcakes
  • 2 Ingredient Fudge {nut-free, gluten-free + vegan}

Easy, no-bake, Crunchy Chocolate SunButter Cups

And then there are these Crunchy Chocolate SunButter Cups! It’s like a party in your mouth with each bite.

Crunchy SunButter & gluten-free cookies create a delightful, melt-in-your-mouth base, topped with creamy dairy-free chocolate…YUM! This would be perfect just like this but then a sprinkling of crispy rice cereal add another layer of crunch for that Oh My Goodness, factor!!

To say we’ve been obsessed with this mini treats is an understatement…we like to eat them by the handfuls (don’t judge) and so will you!

Easy, no-bake, Crunchy Chocolate SunButter Cups

You’ll also love that these Crunchy Chocolate SunButter Cups are:

  • No bake
  • No gluten
  • No dairy
  • No nuts
  • No eggs
  • No soy

Would you ever have thought that hearing the word “NO” would be so wonderful?

Watch how easy it is to make Crunchy Chocolate SunButter Cups

Easy peasy & incredibly versatile Crunchy Chocolate SunButter Cups

Don’t happen to have SunButter Natural Crunch?ย Use their Natural spread and just add in 1/8th cup of sunflower seeds or some more crispyย rice cereal.

We used Enjoy Life Foods’ Sugar Crisp cookies are part of the base, but Graham Crackers also work wonderfully.

Keep this soy-free by using Earth Balance Soy Free Sticksย , otherwise, use your vegan butter of choice.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes

The perfect combination of chocolate & SunButter with a crunchy twist in these easy, no-bake, Crunchy Chocolate SunButter Cups.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 Cup Gluten-free Cookie Crumbs ( I used Enjoy Life Foods Sugar Crisp)
  • 1/2 Cup Earth Balance Butter stick
  • 3/4 Cup Crunchy SunButterย *
  • 1/4 Cup Organic Granulated Cane Sugar
  • 3/4-1 Cup Non-Dairy Chocolate Chips (Enjoy Life Foods)
  • 1/4 Cup Dairy-free Milk (Flax or Coconut milk)
  • 1/4 Cup GF Brown Rice Krispie Treats (Erewhon Brand)

Instructions

  1. Line 12 regular or 24 mini muffin tins with paper liners, set aside.
  2. Place cookies in a food processor and pulse until ground into fine crumbs. Measure out 3/4 C and set aside.
  3. Melt the butter in a small pan on medium. Stir in the Sunbutter, cookie crumbs and sugar. Mix until well combined.
  4. Remove mix from heat and divide evenly in the prepared tins.
  5. Combine the chocolate chips and milk in a medium microwave safe bowl and heat in microwave for 1 minute and then 30 second increments until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  6. Spoon chocolate over the Sunbutter mixture.
  7. Top with rice crisp cereal if desired.
  8. Refrigerate approximately 1-2 hours to set before serving.

Notes

*If you do not have Sugar Crisp cookies, Graham crackers are a great substitution.

**If you are out of crunchy SunButter, add 1/4 cup sunflower seeds to creamy version of SunButter.

    I love the idea of the crispy, crackly crunchies in this. Sunbutter treats are our go to for putting a stop to that creamy, crunchy, chocolaty craving.

      Audrey, that was a toss up for me too. I let my kids eat most of them, but mostly because I knew they’d run them off more easily!

      Thanks Kortney! Although I love creamy chocolate, it is fun to have a little crunch to change it up.
