Chocolate and SunButter are combined with a crunchy twist to create these mini bites of goodness.
Several years ago, I created these 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.
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}
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!
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? Use their Natural spread and just add in 1/8th cup of sunflower seeds or some more crispy 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 Sticks , otherwise, use your vegan butter of choice.
Are you ready to make awesomeness happen?

These look amazing! They’re so perfect for the holidays – for both treat boxes and for serving at parties!
They would be perfect for treat boxes!
OOOH, you *know* how much I love the sunbutter! these look OH SO GOOD… and I think I may have all of the ingredients to make them this afternoon…
I live for chocolate bites like these! I love the way you incorporated such simple ingredients.
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.
I love the addition of cookie crumbs! Such a fun twist on sunbutter cups.
Love the crunchiness to these! What a great idea to add the rice crispy cereal in addition to the crunchy sunbutter. They look delicious.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups were one of my favorite candies too. Thank you for this great recipe, I can’t wait to try it.
These look wonderfully delicious! I don’t know who would love them more me or my kids.
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!
I can see these as such a cute addition to a dessert platter! The crunch is such a fun twist
Thanks Kortney! Although I love creamy chocolate, it is fun to have a little crunch to change it up.
