Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layer
- 2 cups Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Chips
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
- 2 tablespoons Truvia® Sweet Complete® Granulated All-Purpose Stevia Leaf Sweetener
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line a mini muffin pan with 12 mini paper liners to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
- Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 2 cups of sugar-free dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Form chocolate base: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate into each muffin liner, spreading it slightly up the sides to create a base layer.
- Mix peanut butter filling: In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup unsweetened natural creamy peanut butter and 2 tablespoons Truvia® sweetener, stirring until smooth and well blended.
- Add peanut butter layer: Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate base in each liner.
- Cover with chocolate: Spoon another teaspoon of melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer to fully cover it, sealing the filling inside.
- Set the cups: Place the muffin pan in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until the peanut butter cups are fully set and firm.
- Store: Transfer the peanut butter cups to an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to one week to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For easier removal, allow peanut butter cups to warm slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before unwrapping.
- You can substitute the sugar-free chocolate chips with regular dark chocolate if you prefer, but this will increase sugar content.
- Ensure the peanut butter is unsweetened and natural for the best result without added sugars.
- These can also be stored in the freezer for longer shelf life if desired.
