Ingredients
Scale
For the Chocolate Shell:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or chunky, if preferred)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Jelly Center:
- 1/4 cup jelly or jam (grape, strawberry, raspberry, or preferred flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Shell
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Step 2: Assemble the Cups
- Coat Muffin Tin: Using a silicone muffin tin or paper liners, spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each cup to cover the bottom. Use the back of a spoon or a brush to spread the chocolate slightly up the sides.
- Chill: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Step 3: Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling
- Mix Filling Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 4: Fill the Cups
- Add Peanut Butter: Remove the muffin tin from the refrigerator. Spoon a generous amount of the peanut butter filling into each chocolate cup and gently flatten.
- Add Jelly: Place a small dollop of jelly or jam on top of the peanut butter layer.
Step 5: Finish with Chocolate
- Top with Chocolate: Spoon the remaining melted chocolate over the jelly layer, covering it completely. Smooth the top if needed.
- Chill Again: Return the muffin tin to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 20 minutes, or until fully set.
Step 6: Serve
- Remove from Molds: Once set, gently remove the peanut butter and jelly cups from the muffin tin or peel away the liners.
- Enjoy: Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
