Sacha Inchi Healthy "Reeses" Cups! [Vegan, GF]
Reese's Cups are one of our all-time favorite treats here at Brass Roots! We especially love the fun holiday shapes (christmas trees, easter eggs and pumpkins -- oh my!) so we decided to make our own healthy, heart-shaped version for Valentine's Day.
This no-bake recipe is fun and easy for everyone...especially the kids who will love the endless molding possibilities (cookie cutter or freehand)! Post a picture and tag us @brassrootsfood so we can see what you create!

Keep: refrigeration recommended; Airtight container in freezer for up to 1 month
Ingredients
Filling:
- 1/2 Cup Classic Sacha Inchi Butter
- 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
- 2 Tbsp Melted Coconut Oil
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 5-6 Tbsp Coconut Flour
- *Optional* 3 Tbsp Collagen Peptides
Outer Layer:
- 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 Chocolate Bar (we used Hu Vegan Chocolate Bar!)
Instructions
- Mix sacha inchi butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl.
- Add in coconut flour (and collagen if using) and mix well.
- Roll dough into small, 1-inch thick balls (we did ♥️'s for Valentine's Day, but the options are endless. You can even try using fun cookie cutters!) and lay on a parchment paper-lined tray
- Place shaped dough in the freezer for ~10 minutes to chill & harden.
- While waiting, melt coconut oil and broken chocolate bar in a microwave safe bowl (stirring every 30-seconds) until completely liquid. Be careful! It melts quick!
- Removed hardened dough from the freeze and use two forks to dip dough into melted chocolate. Allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Return chocolate covered dough to the freezer to harden for a final 15-20 minutes before enjoying!
Notes
*Add collagen peptides into the dough for an additional health boost! Don't worry...it dissolves perfectly.

I absolutely love these! It’s too bad this recipe wasn’t up for Valentine’s day but I guess I’ll have to wait to make some shamrock shapes in march, maybe add some green ☘️
