Method

You’ll need: muffin tin · mixing bowl

2. Pour a small teaspoon of chocolate into each of four paper muffin cases and chill for 5 min.
3. Put a dollop of peanut butter on the chocolate in each case.
4. Cover the peanut butter completely with the rest of the chocolate so it is sealed in.

Good to know

Better than the supermarket original. You can make these creamy nut chocolates at home with just four simple ingredients.

Swaps

Peanut butter → cashew butter (cashew butter is naturally milder and sweeter, so the cups work without any extra sweetness).

Cooking tips

Use silicone muffin cases or sturdy paper cases so you can easily pop out the finished chocolate cups at the end.

Storage

Always store the finished chocolates airtight in the fridge. At room temperature they quickly turn soft and greasy.
