Paleo Matcha Coconut Butter Cups – so easy to make yourself, these coconut butter cups will be your new favorite dessert!
These Paleo Matcha Coconut Butter Cups are so delicious, you guys! And, they are kind of perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!

They turned out AMAZING, you guys! And they were so easy to make.
These are officially my new obsession and I cannot wait for you guys to make them!!
