Ingredients
- 6 ounces chocolate bar form, or 1 cup or a 6 ounce package of chocolate chips
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons coconut flour or almond meal, as needed
Instructions
- Insert muffin cup liners in a mini muffin pan that holds 12.
- Mix peanut butter and powdered sugar until well combined. Mix in enough coconut flour until you have a peanut butter mixture that at room temperature is moldable. Form into 12 small balls and flatten slightly. You'll want them smaller than the inside of the muffin cups.
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler (recommended since it holds temperature better) or microwave. Drop a dollop of chocolate in each of three muffin cups. Bang pan on counter to flatten chocolate.
- Place slightly flattened peanut butter fall on chocolate, pressing down gently, so chocolate starts to move up side. Do this for the other two prepared cups.
- Spoon chocolate on top of the peanut butter in each cup and spread with spoon to cover. Working three cups at a time, repeat the above until all 12 are done.
- Cool at room temperature (or in the refrigerator if you prefer or it’s warm) until solidified.
