Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth.
  3. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until fully combined.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Press about one tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture into the bottom of each liner, creating an even base.
  6. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up the base.
  7. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil.
  8. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
  9. Spoon about one teaspoon of melted chocolate over the chilled peanut butter layer in each cup.
  10. Return the tin to the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
  11. Remove the liners before serving your homemade cups.

Notes

  • For a cleaner layer, press the peanut butter mixture firmly into the liner before chilling.
  • You can substitute smooth peanut butter with crunchy if you prefer texture.
  • Coconut oil helps the chocolate topping set quickly and gives it a nice snap.
