Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (dark or milk)
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2–3 Tbsp maple syrup or powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp coconut flour or almond flour (optional)
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Muffin Tin: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
- Melt the Chocolate: Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Create the Chocolate Base: Spoon 1–2 teaspoons of melted chocolate into each liner and spread slightly up the sides. Freeze for 5–10 minutes.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a bowl, mix peanut butter, maple syrup (or powdered sugar), and sea salt until thick and smooth. Add optional flour for thicker texture.
- Add the Peanut Butter Layer: Place about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter mixture on each chocolate base and flatten slightly.
- Complete the Cups with Chocolate: Spoon remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter centers and tap gently to smooth the tops.
- Chill Until Firm: Freeze for 15–20 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes until set. Peel off paper liners before serving.
