These Chocolate Chia Berry Sun Butter Cups are so easy to make and insanely good. Dark chocolate cups with sunflower seed butter and berry chia jam filling.

These little treats are grain-free, paleo, dairy-free, nut-free, vegan, and with low-carb, keto options.

They are so simple to make and my kids were fighting over these. I was barely able to save one for myself.

We will be making these frequently, as my family was pestering me to make more after they ate them all.

They are loaded with antioxidants from berries and dark chocolate.

These contain the superfood chia seeds. Chia seeds are high in fiber, aid in weight loss, lower blood pressure, stabilize blood sugar, and hydrate the body.

Chia seeds make a great thickener for the homemade berry jam filling.

My daughter said these were better than See's candy. At least we know they are much healthier too.

The berry chia jam was great and I had some jam left over to save for making these again. I used a candy mold tray like this one: Candy Mold.
