My favorite kitchen equipment:

Makes 6-8 cups
Ingredients:
225g (8oz) Dark chocolate
5 tablespoons (70g) Coconut oil (for the chocolate mixture)
1/2 cup (125g) Natural creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons (42g) Coconut oil (for the peanut butter mixture)

Directions:
1. Prepare 8* silicone muffin cups or paper cupcakes liners.
2. Chop the chocolate and place into a heatproof bowl, add half of the coconut oil.
3. Set the bowl over a pot with simmering water (double boiler). Melt the chocolate completely, turn the heat off, leave the bowl on the pot to keep the chocolate warm and melted.
4. In a separate bowl mix together peanut butter with the remaining coconut oil.
5. Fill each muffin cup with 1-2 tablespoons of melted chocolate and place in the freezer for 15 minutes, until set. Then, pour 1-2 teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture to each cup and place in the freezer for another 15 minutes. Then, pour another portion of melted chocolate on the top of the peanut butter layer. Place in the fridge until set.

Notes:
• In the video I used 6 muffin cups for this quantity, BUT they coming pretty big for one person, so I highly recommend to divide the filling among 8 cups. Make sure the chocolate layers are not too thick, otherwise it will be too hard to bite.
• Store the cups in the fridge, if you store them in the freezer, place in room temperature 30 minutes before serving.
• For the chocolate layers, you can use combination of dark and milk chocolate, or just milk chocolate.

For all of you asking about the oil substitutes, I’m sure you don’t need oil. Store bought chocolate already has oil and doesn’t need oil for it to melt and the peanut butter doesn’t need oil either since it’s mostly fat as well. For the peanut butter I would add agave or some liquid sweetener since this has basically no sugar and I need my sugar.

it may look different from Reeses, but it's a good alternative.

Your videos make my day every time! Very well done 😁

How is the final product? I've tried a similar recipe and found the chocolate to hard/brittle while the peanut butter was too goopy unless i added powdered sugar. Anything like that here? Thanks again!

I’m addicted to Resses’s peanut butter cup but it’s not exactly healthy 😅. I’ll try your recipe. Thanks for sharing !!

I think I'll make them and add my homemade caramel to the peanut butter, then drizzle the top with a little more caramel and sea salt! Mmmm
