The chocolate is the base for this recipe, but the rest is up to you: try one of the suggested fillings below, mix and match, or bring in your own ideas. An almond butter filling will give you a kind of Paleo Reeses Cup, only without the plastic, waxy taste of cheap chocolate. Coconut flakes, dried fruit, or other nuts or nut butters would also be delicious. For any kind of nut butter, it’s easier to add if you let it come to room temperature before spooning it into the cups, since it gets hard in the fridge.
