These No Bake Chocolate Gingerbread Almond Butter Cups are a seasonal take on the classic Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. These could not be easier to make and would be a great addition to your family’s cookie tray!
Is Christmas coming all ready? I feel like I just started this semester a week ago!
Time really does fly when your having fun studying your bum off. At least hard work pays off (I hope!). I’m glad to be almost done and can’t wait to focus on making many more delicious recipes for you. With that said, Christmas is just around the corner and I feel like a little kid again.
I get so excited this time of year, not because of the presents but because it just seems like everyone is so happy, I blame it on the holiday desserts. Every one loves desserts and Christmas is filled with tons of desserts and desserts make people happy. Am I right or am I right?
What could make people happier that tasty homemade Chocolate Gingerbread Almond Butter Cups? It’s like your chocolate and gingerbread got married and had a baby! They are like the holiday version of a peanut butter cup, and who doesn’t love peanut butter cups?
Oh it doesn’t also hurt to mention that these Chocolate Gingerbread Almond Butter Cups are healthy, but you would never guess because they taste so decadent and delicious!

These look dangerously good! Like eat the whole stack before you know what happened good. Plus long days of studying need good snacks, I find myself doing a lot of munching on those sorts of days. Brain fuel…or boredom haha!
