Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup dark chocolate
- 2 x 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Melt the dark chocolate and 1 tsp of coconut oil in a microwave for 45 seconds, or slowly on the stove in a double boiler. Be careful not to boil it!
- Place ½ tbsp of melted chocolate into each of your 12 small silicone molds.
- Pop the tray into the refrigerator for 20 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened up.
- While the chocolate is cooling you can make the peanut butter filling. Mix the peanut butter, remaining coconut oil, vanilla extract and maple syrup until combined.
- Add 1 tsp of the peanut filling to each chocolate cup.
- Cover your peanut butter filling with melted chocolate, to the top of the mold – or enough to create a level top.
- Refrigerate for half an hour or until the peanut butter cups are hard enough to transfer to a plate.
- Keep them in the fridge for up to 10 days.
Notes
You can top these peanut butter cups with crushed roasted peanuts, sea salt, or edible decorations!
