AuthorMarvelDifficultyBeginnerPrepare a cupcake tin with paper liners or opt for a silicone cupcake tray/individual silicone liners.
In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together. Alternatively, use a microwave, melting in 30-second intervals.
Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate mix into the cupcake liners. Ensure the chocolate layer isn't too thick for easy biting once set. Freeze for 5-10 minutes.
For the peanut butter filling, blend the peanut butter, chosen sweetener, and coconut oil in a bowl. If the mix is too thick, warm it slightly until it reaches a pourable consistency.
After removing the cups from the freezer, evenly distribute the peanut butter mixture among them. Freeze again for about 10 minutes.
Once out of the freezer, top each cup with the remaining chocolate. Add optional decorations if desired.
Freeze the cups for an hour to set them completely.
Relish the peanut butter cups right away or store in a sealed container in the fridge for later enjoyment.
Tips:
- For those not keen on a coconut hint, opt for refined coconut oil.
