Ingredients
- 1 cup (approx. 6 oz) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (or chopped baking chocolate)
- 2 tsp coconut oil, divided
- 1 cup creamy all-natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt, divided
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves
Instructions
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a mini (for 24) or standard (for 12) muffin tin with paper or silicone baking cups.
- Melt Chocolate Base: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and 1 tsp coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. Stir in 1/8 tsp salt.
- First Chocolate Layer: Spoon 1-2 tsp melted chocolate into each liner, swirling to coat the bottom. Chill in the freezer for 5-10 minutes until set.
- Prepare Peanut Butter Filling: In a separate bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, remaining 1 tsp coconut oil, and 1/8 tsp salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add Fillings: Spoon 1-2 tsp peanut butter filling over each chilled chocolate base. Gently flatten, leaving a small well. Spoon 1/2-1 tsp strawberry jam into the well.
- Top with Chocolate: Re-melt any remaining chocolate if needed. Spoon 1-2 tsp chocolate over the strawberry layer, ensuring it fully covers and seals the cup. Tap the tin gently to smooth.
- Chill to Set: Return the muffin tin to the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the cups are completely firm.
- Serve and Store: Remove from liners. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
