Description
A simple and nostalgic treat combining creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate for a delightful dessert experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (at least 60% cacao)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar or 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional)
- Sea salt flakes for finishing
- Mini muffin liners or silicone molds
Instructions
- Prepare a baking tray with mini liners or silicone molds.
- Melt two-thirds of the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20- to 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Add remaining chocolate chips and stir until glossy.
- Spoon about a teaspoon of chocolate into each liner, rotating the tray to coat the edges.
- Freeze for 5–7 minutes until the chocolate firms up.
- Mix peanut butter with powdered sugar and a pinch of salt until spreadable; add melted butter if needed.
- Spoon a small dollop of peanut butter filling into each chocolate shell, pressing slightly to remove air pockets.
- Top with another one to two teaspoons of melted chocolate to seal the cups.
- Tap the tray to flatten the tops and sprinkle sea salt flakes.
- Chill until fully set, about 20–30 minutes.
Notes
Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing and work quickly with chocolate to avoid it setting too soon. Optionally, pipe the peanut butter for cleaner filling.
