Let’s break it down! Here’s What You Need For Your Pistachio Butter Cups:

Dark Chocolate.

Dark chocolate is a tasty and slightly healthier choice for our cups because it offers a rich flavor that perfectly complements the salty and nutty taste of pistachio butter. It’s also lower in sugar content, and packed with antioxidants!

Nuttinosh Roasted Pistachio Butter.

We’re sticking with our classic Roasted Pistachio Butter for this recipe! If you like that extra pinch of saltiness with a chocolatey dessert, you can experiment with our Sea Salt Pistachio Butter.

Chopped nuts.

These can be your favorite nuts of choice - you can stick with pistachios, or mix it up with walnuts, cashews, or pecans!

Pretzels.

What an easy way to get a delicious crunch, and a pinch of salt to balance out our flavors! I slightly crushed our pretzels to get smaller pieces.

Our delicious Dark Chocolate Pistachio Butter Cups are the perfect blend of delicious and doable, making it a fun and tasty dessert to create at home with the whole family.
