Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 400g dark chocolate, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup icing sugar
  • Flaky sea salt
Instructions
  1. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tray with oil, or grease with a bit of coconut oil; set aside.
  2. Melt half the chocolate in a double boiler, stirring until completely smooth. Divide chocolate into muffin cups. Chill 10 minutes until firm.
  3. Combine peanut butter, vanilla, and icing sugar in a small bowl. Divide filling into muffin cups. Try your best to leave a bit of a border around the edges, so that the second layer of chocolate will cover the sides of the peanut butter. Flatten tops with the back of a spoon.
  4. Melt the remaining chocolate in a double boiler, stirring until completely smooth. Pour chocolate over the peanut butter. Spread flat, if necessary.
  5. Refrigerate for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with sea salt. Continue chilling until firm, about 45 minutes.
  6. Use a knife to pry the peanut butter cups from the muffin tray.
  7. Store in an airtight container, layered with wax paper, in the fridge.
