Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Ingredients

  • Cupcake baking cups
  • 1 bag dark chocolate chips 12 oz
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature (or just melted in the microwave)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Optional:

  • Himalayan sea salt
  • Raspberry jam

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with the cupcake baking cups. (Tip: before you start melting the chocolate, make sure there's room in your fridge for the baking sheet!). Using a double boiler method, heat water in a small pot on the stove and place a metal or glass bowl on top. Place half of chocolate in the bowl and stir until fully melted.

  2.  Using a small spoon, pour about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate into the cups. Using the back of the spoon, push the chocolate up the sides of the cups about 1/4 high. Place in the fridge for about 10 minutes.

  3. While chocolate is cooling, mix together peanut butter, butter, sugar and honey. Place a little less than 1 tablespoon of peanut butter into the cups and using the back of a spoon, spread it to the sides of the cups. If you're using raspberry jam, place about 1/2 tablespoon on top of the peanut butter mixture. Place back in the fridge.

  4.  Heat the remaining chocolate again and top the cups. If you're using the Himalayan sea salt,sprinkle a little on top of each cup! Place back in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes until chocolate hardens and then....ENJOY!
