- 4 ounces Dark Chocolate
- 2 tbsp. all natural peanut butter
- 2 tsp. coconut oil
- 1 heaping tbsp. confectioner sugar
- 8 mini candy cup liners
- Optional heart sprinkles!
Melt your chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave if youre short on time.
Drop about 2 tbsp. of the melted chocolate in the bottom of a candy cup. Then use the back of your spoon to help push the chocolate up the sides of the cup to form a little chocolate cup. Repeat this until al 8 cups are done. Pop the cups into the freezer for ten minutes or until the cups are set up.
In a small bowl combine peanut butter, coconut oil and confectioners sugar. Mix until you have a nice smooth creamy consistency.
Remove peanut butter cups from the freezer and add 1 tsp. of the peanut butter mixture to each cup. Try not to let the peanut butter mixture go higher than the chocolate wall. Finish it off by drizzling another tsp. of the melted chocolate over the top of each cup.
Top with a festive sprinkle and then freeze for 1-2 hours or until the have set through. Once my peanut butter cups are set, I store them in an airtight container in my fridge.
