Butter Cups Mixed Box Review: Vegan Chocolate Cups Worth Your Money?

If you’ve been craving the creamy, melt-in-your-mouth experience of a classic chocolate butter cup but want to keep things plant-based, LoveRaw’s Butter Cups Mixed Box might be exactly what you’re looking for. This assortment brings together several of their most popular vegan butter cups, letting you sample different flavours without committing to a full box of one kind. I ordered one to see how it holds up against dairy-based alternatives and whether it’s worth the hype.

The mixed box contains a curated selection of LoveRaw’s signature cups, including their beloved M:lk Choc Peanut Butter Cups and the newer M:lk Choc Pistachio Butter Cups. Each cup is made from ethically sourced cocoa and free from dairy, gluten, and palm oil. But does that translate to great taste? Let’s break it down cup by cup.

What’s Inside the Butter Cups Mixed Box?

The Butter Cups Mixed Box typically includes a variety of flavours, though the exact lineup can vary. In my box, I found two M:lk Choc Peanut Butter Cups, two M:lk Choc Pistachio Butter Cups, and a couple of seasonal or limited-edition cups. Each cup is individually wrapped, making them easy to toss into a bag or share with friends. The packaging is simple but sturdy – no excessive plastic, which I appreciate.

LoveRaw doesn’t currently list the mixed box as a separate product on their site, but it’s often available as a limited run or part of subscription options. If you’re keen on trying multiple flavours without buying full boxes, keep an eye out for it. Alternatively, you can build your own mix by picking individual boxes like the M:lk Choc Peanut Butter Cups Box.

• Tip: Store the cups in a cool, dry place (below 20°C) to keep the chocolate from blooming – they can soften quickly in warm weather.

Taste and Texture: The Honest Verdict

Let’s start with the M:lk Choc Peanut Butter Cup – it’s the classic for a reason. The chocolate shell is rich and snaps cleanly, giving way to a smooth, slightly salty peanut butter filling. The balance of sweet and savoury is spot-on. It tastes remarkably close to a dairy peanut butter cup, though the chocolate has a slightly grainier finish (a common trait in vegan milk chocolate). If you’re used to conventional cups, you might notice the difference, but it’s a minor trade-off for a plant-based version.

The M:lk Choc Pistachio Butter Cup was the surprise favourite. The pistachio filling is creamy with a subtle nutty flavour that isn’t overpowering. The chocolate here is the same base, but the pistachio adds a wonderful complexity. It’s less sweet than the peanut butter cup, which some will prefer. Both cups have a firm texture at room temperature but soften beautifully on the tongue. One downside: the pistachio version can be slightly drier if the filling isn’t mixed evenly – I had one cup where the paste was a bit crumbly.

• Honest trade-off: The chocolate shell is not as shiny or snappy as high-end dairy chocolate, but the flavours are clean and satisfying.

How Do They Compare to Dairy Butter Cups?

I did a side-by-side taste test with a popular dairy peanut butter cup. The biggest difference is in the mouthfeel: the vegan cup’s chocolate coating is slightly less creamy, and the filling has a more pronounced peanut or pistachio paste texture rather than a super-smooth emulsion. That said, the flavour profile is remarkably similar – especially if you eat them chilled. Chilling firms up the chocolate and makes the snap more satisfying, which I’d recommend for anyone transitioning from dairy.

For those who are strictly plant-based or lactose intolerant, these cups are a game-changer. They don’t have that waxy aftertaste some vegan chocolates have, and the sweetness is well-judged – not cloying. If you’re a dairy eater looking to reduce consumption, the M:lk Choc Pistachio Butter Cup in particular offers a unique flavour you won’t find in most milk chocolate cups.

• Practical tip: For the best experience, refrigerate the cups for 15 minutes before eating – it improves the snap and keeps the filling from being too soft.

Who Should Buy This Box?

The Butter Cups Mixed Box is ideal for anyone curious about vegan chocolate but unsure where to start. It’s also great for longtime plant-based snackers who want variety without buying multiple full-size boxes. Because the flavours lean toward classic nut-butter combos, even non-vegans will likely enjoy them. I’d say it’s less suitable for people who prefer very dark, bitter chocolate – these cups are on the sweeter side, especially the peanut butter version.

If you’re already a fan of LoveRaw’s other products like their Wafer Bars Mixed Box, you’ll feel at home with the brand’s signature taste. The butter cups make a satisfying afternoon treat or a small dessert after dinner. Just don’t expect them to completely replicate dairy chocolate – they’re their own thing, and that’s a good thing.

LoveRaw’s Butter Cups Mixed Box delivers on its promise of tasty, plant-based chocolate cups. The M:lk Choc Peanut Butter Cup is a crowd-pleaser, while the M:lk Choc Pistachio Butter Cup offers something unique. If you can find the mixed box, it’s a smart way to sample both – just remember that vegan chocolate has its own texture quirks. For a guilt-free, dairy-free treat, these cups more than hold their own.
