I mentioned in a a previous post about the bachelorette party I was a part of and that the bride and 2 others were/are gluten free. So I had to get creative...I racked my brain, which yes can be hard some days (that was thrown in there for a few people who like to make fun of me when I say "I think"). As I was thinking I was sitting in front of my 2 cake towers (I have two 6-drawer towers worth of cake decorating stuff, candy melt stuff and so on) and I started going through my candy mold. PERFECT! I have a heart-shaped cup and I have red candy melts! - So what can I add in that's Gluten Free?
Of course! Almond Butter! It's delicious on it's own anyways, so why not give it a shot?!
I was so surprised at first! I tried putting a cover of chocolate over top to make it a full cup like a Reese's cup, but it wouldn't work! If anyone has used Almond Butter they know why - but for those of you who haven't - it's an incredibly oily butter, it's a lot more liquid-y than regular PB! So LIGHTBULB, let's freeze it!
It looked so great I didn't even want to cover it! So I put a dollop of icing on there and a little bit of shaved chocolate.
I have to say one of the best things I've ever made! I clearly didn't make enough either! I had one for each of us, I served them frozen too, and I wish I had made more! They all wanted more! Needless to say I will definitely be making them again for Gluten Free friends - and of course a "healthier" treat for myself!
