Preparation

Step 1

Line mini muffin tin with mini cupcake wrappers.

Melt peanut butter in the microwave in 30 second bursts until it’s melted, then sift in powdered sugar. Stir until mixture comes together and it’s smooth and the consistency of Play-Doh.

Use a teaspoon to measure out filling onto a plate, then roll into balls once it’s all measured out. Put in fridge while you melt chocolate.

Melt chocolate in microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring after each burst, until smooth.
Place one teaspoon of melted chocolate in 20 wrappers.

Top each one with a peanut butter ball.

Top off each cup with two teaspoons of chocolate.
Chill in fridge for 20-30 minutes to harden.
