Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or natural)
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Instructions
1. Line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners or silicone molds and set aside.
2. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
3. Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate into each cupcake liner, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Use a spoon to slightly push some chocolate up the sides of the liners to create a base. Place the tin in the freezer for 5 minutes to set.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, you can microwave it for 10-15 seconds to soften it slightly.
5. Remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture into each cup, spreading it gently to create a layer. Top with a sprinkle of mini marshmallows (divide the marshmallows evenly across all the cups).
6. Spoon another teaspoon of melted chocolate on top of the marshmallow layer in each cup, making sure to cover everything completely. Gently tap the muffin tin on the counter to let the chocolate settle and smooth out.
7. Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each cup to enhance the flavors.
8. Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
9. Once set, carefully peel away the cupcake liners or pop the cups out of the silicone molds. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
