Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with parchment paper cupcake liners or silicone liners.
  • Melt the peanut butter, butter, and cacao butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Stir in the sweetener and vanilla extract until well combined and no lumps remain.
  • Divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one-quarter full. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Set a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Put the chocolate in the bowl and stir until melted and smooth. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate over each peanut butter cup and spread it to the edges. Return the cups to the refrigerator until set, another 10-15 minutes.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to a week (if they last that long!).
