Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.

Spoon about a teaspoon of the melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin cup, spreading it slightly up the sides.

Remove the muffin tray from the refrigerator and divide the peanut butter mixture evenly among the 12 cups.
