Peanut allergies seem to be more and more common nowadays. If you’re affected, you know that you don’t even have to eat peanuts to suffer a reaction – your allergies can be triggered by just being in the same room as those tiny legumes. Your kid’s school might even be a peanut-free zone due to the dangers. But fear not candy-lovers, there is an easy and just as delicious alternative to your favorite chocolate- and nut-butter indulgence! These homemade sunflower butter cups have all the great taste of your favorite childhood candy without any of the allergy risks.
