Maple or agave syrup aren’t ‘necessary for the texture’. If you wan’t to cut them out, just use more wet ingredients (coconut oil/nutbutter) and add your sugar alternative (xylitol, stevia, coconut nectar?).

And yes, sunflower butter would probably work just as well :)

If you don’t have coconut cream around, just sub it with almond butter for example.

These are awesome! I used pecan cashew butter and made two giant butter cups, they went right to the rim haha! Didn’t realize til’ I was too far into the recipe to change it. I imagine it not to be too difficult to make 4 to 8 (if your feeling crazy) butter cups out of this recipe. Loved it, thanks!

THESE TASTE ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE A REESE’S CUP, WHICH I HAVEN’T HAD IN YEARS.  IF YOU LOVE THOSE, THIS IS THE RECIPE FOR YOU!  :)

These look very yummy.  Can sunbutter be substituted for nut butter?   My grandson has a peanut allergy and can’t have any kind of nuts.

Can you substitute coconut cream for anything else?   I will get an order out sometime in the next few weeks,  but till then,  any suggestions?

Is the maple syrup a sweetener or necessary for texture.  I don’t use maple syrup, agave at all and limit to small amounts of honey for health reasons.  There are better sugar alternatives.
