Ingredients
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper cupcake liners or silicone liners.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 15- to 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Step 3
Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin liner. Use the back of the spoon to spread it evenly. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate layer to set.
Step 4
In another bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil until well combined and smooth.
Step 5
Remove the muffin tin from the freezer and spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture on top of the hardened chocolate layer. Smooth it into an even layer with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Step 6
Top the peanut butter layer with another 1 to 2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate, spreading it evenly to cover the peanut butter completely.
Step 7
Place the muffin tin back in the freezer for at least 20 minutes to set the peanut butter cups fully.
Step 8
Once set, remove the peanut butter cups from the liners and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
