Ingredients

• 1 cup or 230 g creamy peanut butter (made with only peanuts)
• 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey or other sweetener of your choice
• 120 g dark chocolate
• 1 tsp coconut oil (or other oil of choice)
• Mini cupcake liners

Directions

1. Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil for a smooth texture. Let it cool.
2. In a mixing bowl, vigorously stir together creamy peanut butter and maple syrup until well combined and smooth. Place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill for easier handling later.
3. Prepare mini cupcake liners and fill each with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the melted dark chocolate. Rotate the liners to ensure even coating of the interior surfaces with a thin layer of chocolate. Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.
4. Once the chocolate has set, fill each with approximately 1 teaspoon of the chilled peanut butter and maple syrup mixture. Gently press to evenly distribute the mixture within the chocolate mold.
5. Pour over additional melted chocolate to create a top chocolate layer, ensuring complete coverage of the peanut filling. This step gives the treats their characteristic Reese’s shape.
6. Return the filled liners to the fridge for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
