Description
Decadent no-bake dessert cups featuring a creamy peanut butter filling encased in a crisp semi-sweet chocolate shell. Quick to prepare and freezer-friendly, these treats are perfect for any chocolate lover.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
Instructions
- Line 12 muffin cups with liners and set aside.
- Melt half of the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Scoop about 1/2 tablespoon of melted chocolate into each liner, spreading across the bottom. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- While the chocolate sets, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter until creamy.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture to each chocolate base, avoiding the liner edges. Freeze for 5 minutes.
- Melt the remaining chocolate chips as before.
- Cover each peanut butter layer with melted chocolate. Freeze for 10–15 minutes or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until firm.
Notes
- Swap semi-sweet chocolate with milk or dark chocolate for variation.
- Use crunchy peanut butter or other nut butters for texture and flavor change.
- Add toppings like sea salt, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips for extra flair.
- Store in the fridge up to 2 weeks or freeze for several months.
