Ingredients
  

For the Cups:
  • 4 oz sugar-free chocolate chips or 90% dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter (65g)
  • 1 teaspoon allulose (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (only if peanut butter is unsalted)

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Silicone muffin molds or paper liners
  • Spatula
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Molds
    Line a muffin tin with silicone molds or paper liners.
  3. Step 3: Create the Chocolate Layer
    Spoon about a tablespoon of the melted chocolate mixture into each mold, ensuring the bottom is covered.
  4. Step 4: Freeze the Chocolate Layers
    Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
  5. Step 5: Mix the Peanut Butter Filling
    In a separate bowl, mix the smooth peanut butter with the optional allulose and salt (if using). Stir until well combined and smooth.
  6. Step 6: Add the Peanut Butter
    Once the chocolate has hardened, spoon a generous dollop of the peanut butter mixture into each chocolate cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  7. Step 7: Top with More Chocolate
    Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling in each mold, ensuring the peanut butter is fully covered.
  8. Step 8: Freeze Again
    Return the muffin tin to the freezer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
  9. Step 9: Enjoy!
    Once set, remove the peanut butter cups from the molds or liners.
