Calories: 263kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup (129 g) creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¼ cup (31 g) confectioners' sugar
- 2 cups (364 g) milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl add peanut butter, butter, and confectioners' sugar. Use a hand mixer on low and combine all of the ingredients. Set aside.
- Add the chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring after every 20 seconds, until the chocolate is melted and creamy (about 1-2 minutes total).
- Add about 1 tablespoon of chocolate to the bottom of each muffin tin (only enough to fully coat the bottom of the liner). Top with 2 heaping teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture in the center. Add about 1 tablespoon of chocolate to the top of each cup. Carefully tap the muffin tin onto the counter to help the chocolate settle and smooth out the tops.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until set, before serving.
