People love candy, especially chocolate. We have a particular nostalgia for the candy cup- the semi-hard shell with a creamy, smooth and nutty center satisfies every sweet tooth. Introduced in 2009, Sun Cups are made from premium cacao of only Rainforest Alliance Certified farms and produced in the only completely nut free facility in America. Their ingredients are bar none. With an extensive following based on taste alone, Sun Cups chooses to use sunflower seed butter and a nut-free, gluten-free and GMO-free recipe to cater to all individuals. It is a unique alternative to the peanut butter cup and frequently favored by sensitive stomachs.

If you’ve been on the lookout for a darker version of nut free chocolate candy, look no further. And as with all our products, our Dark Chocolate Sun Cup is gluten free as well.

MILK CHOCOLATE SUN CUPS
When it comes to classics, the peanut butter cup falls somewhere between blue jeans and convertibles, delighting the masses for generations. Still, millions were unable to experience the confectionary legend. So we gave it a mouth-watering makeover, filling creamy all natural milk chocolate with roasted sunflower seed butter. Now, those with peanut allergies, gluten intolerance or just a persnickety sweet tooth can live the dream for themselves. Interested in adding caramel to that milk chocolate?

Our Thoughts
I love me a good chocolate-y treat, and May is Allergy Awareness Month. We do the paleo way of eating for our son's dietary needs, and although we have not tried peanuts with him, he is so sensitive to most common allergens that we're just not willing to find out beyond trace exposure. Peanuts are off the table.
One of my favorite old-way-of-eating treats was chocolate peanut butter cups. I stopped eating them long ago (pre-paleo) not because of the peanuts, but because of the other ingredients companies used.
With Sun Cups' gluten & GMO -free ingredients, their treats are right up our alley! Sun Cups sent me the Dark Chocolate cups and the Milk Chocolate cups (contains dairy) to try.
You can smell the sunflower butter right out of the package. The cups look just like those yummy chocolate/nut treats we're all used to seeing, but their taste may surprise you! If you're looking to compare to the traditional peanut butter cups, sunflower seed butter definitely has a different flavor than peanut butter. The texture of the sunflower seed butter center is much drier than a regular squishy-center peanut butter cup, but it's very smooth. You might like the drier texture, you might not. It has its pros and cons - cons being well, it's drier. But pros - it's much less messy than the traditional ones. Still, the overall flavor is pleasing. And while I probably shouldn't indulge in dairy, I do occasionally treat myself - and while both were delicious, I did like the Milk Chocolate Sun Cup just a bit better than the Dark Chocolate - there's just something about that sweet/salty combination!
Sun Cups make a tasty snack, and with their easily portable size and packaging, they are perfect for anywhere you want to take them. Bon appetite!
