Easy Peanut Butter Cups

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

chocolate chips
peanut butter

Directions:

Take 2 paper muffin cases, put one inside the other.

Cover the bottom of the muffin case with a layer of chocolate chips. Put into microwave for a few seconds until the chips melt (watch it carefully because they burn if left in there too long!) Take out of microwave and add a tablespoon of peanut butter, return to microwave again for a few seconds. Stir in more chocolate chips (as many as you want!).

Freeze until firm.

this is one of my new favorite snacks- I use little mini muffin papers so I wind up with something like a mini-reese's cup...which is good because since trying this recipe yesterday, I've had three. :-) so quick and easy and soooooo good!

Yum!!! I melted normal sugar in a pan with a couple of tablespoons of water and worked the peanut butter into it, it had the most wonderful texture. I also used my finger to spread the chocolate cos I didn't have a brush and it turned out really well!!! Oh and aluminium cases are a must!

Thanks for the EASY idea! I made it even simpler by putting the CAROB chips in the bottom of the cup cake paper, adding a dab of natural peanut butter in the middle and sprinkling more CAROB chips on top. I put it on a small plate and stuck it in the microwave on half power or less and cooked it for about 2 minutes. I kept checking it, so I'm not sure about the total time. I do know that you can't cook CAROB chips in the microwave on full power - they just get hard.
So, it all melted together and I put it in the freezer for a few minutes and it's done! YEAH!
I like to add a little peppermint extract to the carob chips. I put a few drops right on top of the carob chips after putting them in the cup cake paper. Super simple!
Enjoy!

I make these more often than I choose to admit. I have tried a few different fillings as well, like Ricemellow, mixing shredded coconut or chopped nuts, it is all so delicious! Maybe I will try jam, too. Such a simple and awesome idea, thanks!

I forgot to note that when making with Ricemellow...DO NOT MICROWAVE THE MELLOW!!! It basically explodes. I melt a mini cup full of chips and then i put a glob on mellow in and push it into the center. SO good!
