Whether your #TeamChocolate or #TeamPB&J, you’re #winning with these Cashew Butter & Jelly Stuffed Chocolates! These were SUPER EASY to make and can have anyone feeling like a professional chocolatier with just a few simple ingredients! I used Hu Gems to keep these tasty treats Paleo Compliant, and as a Crazy Cat Lover, I used these adorable paw print shaped molds to pay homage to my 6 kitties! Cashew Butter tends to be my go-to, but feel free to use any nut butter of your choice! You could also purchase store bought jelly if you’re not following a strict Paleo diet, but I highly encourage you to give homemade jelly a try! 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Lb Fresh Strawberries, cut into quarters

  • 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup

  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice

  • 3 Tbsp Cashew Butter (or Nut Butter of your choice)

  • 1/2 Cup Hu Gems (divided into two 1/4 cups)

  • 12 Count Chocolate Mold (I recommend silicone)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Place your Strawberries, Lemon Juice, & Maple Syrup in a medium pot over medium/high heat. Bring mixture to a boil, mashing strawberries with a fork and stirring constantly. Allow mixture to simmer until it begins to thicken, about 10-20 minutes. I like my Jelly thicker so I tend to lean towards 20 minutes! Once jelly consistency is to your liking, remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl. Place in the refrigerator to cool for 1-2 hours.

  2. Meanwhile, take 1/4 Cup of your Hu Gems and place them in a microwaveable safe bowl or mug. Microwave for 20 second increments, stirring in between until chocolate is fully melted.

  3. Spoon 1/2 tsp of melted Chocolate into each chocolate mold, swirling it around to ensure you’ve coated the sides. Using a silicone mold will allow you to squeeze them together to get the chocolate spread up the sides more efficiently! Transfer to freezer to chill for 5-10 minutes.

  4. Remove from freezer and spoon 1/2 tsp of Cashew Butter on top of the chocolate, pushing it down with a knife to spread it to the sides. Repeat with jelly.

  5. Microwave the other 1/4 Cup of Hu Gems, ensuring all chocolate is melted. Spoon in 1/2 tsp of chocolate at a time until the jelly is covered and each cavity is filled to the top! Freeze for 1 hour, pop chocolates out from their molds, & enjoy!
