7. 10. 2025

Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Butter Cups are a delightful treat to always keep in your freezer. They are simple to make, requiring just a few basic ingredients you likely already have in your pantry!

Ingredients:

Chocolate

• 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• Pinch of sea salt

Filling

• 1/3 cup hazelnut butter
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup of rum

Method:

1. Start with making the hazelnut butter filling. In a small bowl, mix hazelnut butter, maple syrup, rum, and vanilla extract. Taste and adjust the quantity of maple syrup if necessary. 
2. Finely chop the roasted hazelnuts and add to the preparation; stir to combine. Place in the fridge to firm up slightly while you prepare the chocolate cups.
3. Prepare the cups. You can use silicon muffin cups or line a standard-size muffin tin with paper liners.
4. Fill a small saucepan with just a little water and bring to a gentle simmer. Roughly chop the dark chocolate and add it to a steel heat-safe bowl with the coconut oil.
5. Place the bowl on top of the simmering water to gently melt the chocolate. Once the chocolate is fully melted, stir it, remove it from the heat, and allow it to cool for one minute.
6. Scoop about half a tablespoon of melted chocolate and pour it in liners. Place the cups in the fridge for 5 minutes to set.
7. Once the bottom chocolate has set, remove the hazelnut butter filling from the fridge. Dollop about 1 to 2 teaspoons into each cup and slightly flatten with a small spoon without touching the edges of the cups.
8. Try not to overfill the cups with filling!
