Ingredients
225 g 8oz Dark chocolate
5 tablespoons 70g Coconut oil (for the chocolate mixture)
½ cup 125g Natural creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons 42g Coconut oil (for the peanut butter mixture)
Directions
- Get 8 silicone muffin liners or paper cupcake liners ready.
- Chop the chocolate and add half of the coconut oil to a heatproof bowl.
- Place the bowl over a double boiler (pot of water that is simmering). Put the bowl over the pot to keep the chocolate warm and melted after the chocolate has completely melted and the heat has been turned off.
- Combine peanut butter and the remaining coconut oil in a different bowl.
- After adding 1 or 2 tablespoons of melted chocolate to each muffin cup, freeze for 15 seconds to solidify the chocolate. Next, fill each cup with 1 to 2 teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture, and freeze for an additional 15 minutes. Next, add some more melted chocolate to the peanut butter layer’s top. Refrigerate until solidified.

Notes
- • I used 6 muffin cups in the video, but they are a bit large for one person, so I would definitely suggest dividing the filling among 8 cups. If the chocolate layers are excessively thick, it will be difficult to bite into them.
• If storing the cups in the freezer, let them come to room temperature half an hour before serving. Otherwise, store them in the refrigerator.
• You can use simply milk chocolate or a combination of dark and milk chocolate for the chocolate layers.
