Ingredients
  

For the Peanut Butter Cups:
  • 2 cups keto chocolate chips or sugar-free chocolate bar
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup smooth, drippy peanut butter ensure it’s sugar-free

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Parchment paper liners
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Muffin Tin
    Line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners. This step is crucial to ensure your peanut butter cups come out easily and maintain their shape.
  2. Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the keto chocolate chips or chopped sugar-free chocolate bar with the coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Step 3: Create the Chocolate Layer
    Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate into each muffin liner. Use the back of your spoon to spread it evenly across the bottom of the liner. Place the muffin tin in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to set.
  4. Step 4: Add the Peanut Butter Filling
    Once the chocolate layer has hardened, remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Next, add about 1 tablespoon of the smooth, drippy peanut butter into each liner on top of the hardened chocolate.
  5. Step 5: Top with More Chocolate
    Pour another tablespoon of the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, making sure to fully cover it. You want your cups to be sealed with chocolate on top!
  6. Step 6: Final Freeze
    Return the muffin tin to the freezer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
  7. Step 7: Enjoy!
    Once the chocolate is firm, carefully peel away the parchment paper liners to enjoy your homemade Keto Peanut Butter Cups. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for the best texture.

Notes
