Servings: 24
Equipment
- Mini silicone baking cup tray
Ingredients
- 3 cups vegan chocolate chunks
- 1.5 cup natural peanut butter with sea salt or almond butter
- 1 teaspoon rock salt
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate. I find the easiest way to do this without burning it is to fill a medium-large pot with water and bring to a boil.
- Place a large stainless steel bowl on top of the pot and place 2 cups of the chocolate chips in. Stir frequently as they melt.
- Once melted, "paint" the inside of the silicone baking cups with the melted chocolate, using a pastry brush so there is a thin layer of chocolate. Don't worry - it's pretty forgiving! Doesn't need to be perfect. Just cover the inside of the cup.
- Paint all 24 cups. Place the tray of painted silicone cups into the freezer for approximately 30 minutes or until completely frozen and set.
- As the cups freeze, add the other 1 cup of chocolate chips to your bowl to melt them. Again, stir as they melt. Make sure you don't boil off all the water in your pot - check periodically.
- Once the first layer is set and hard, take the tray out of the freezer and fill each cup ¾ of the way with the peanut butter.
- Then top each cup with more melted chocolate. It's okay if it spills over a bit. Sprinkle a few grains of rock salt on each one.
Notes
If you prefer a thicker chocolate layer on each cup, only fill the cup up with peanut butter ⅔ of the way and add chocolate to the top.
Remember: messy is ok! Frozen chocolate and peanut butter is still chocolate and peanut butter.
