Instructions

  1. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Transfer the peanut butter mixture to a pastry bag or ziploc bag with a small section of the corner cut off.
  4. Melt the chocolate melting wafers in a medium microwave-safe bowl for 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until fully melted.
  5. Add 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate to the bottom of each liner.
  6. Pipe the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate.
  7. Top the peanut butter with 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate.
  8. Place in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to set.
  9. Remove and enjoy.

Notes

  • I love using Ghirardelli melting wafers, however, you can use chocolate chips instead. I find the melting wafers are a little softer after hardening and therefore a little easier to eat.
  • Could also be made in a mini cupcake pan - I would recommend 1 teaspoon of chocolate on the bottom and 2 teaspoons on top.
  • Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.
  • Freeze in a freezer bag with excess air squeezed out for up to 6 months.
  • Add sprinkles for parties and holidays.
