SO HOW'D IT GO?
I saw this recipe in passing one day and thought, "hmmm, what a nice idea" but I didn't try it until last night. All I can say is: best. idea. ever.
So easy, so tasty, so cheap. I make one at a time so as to pursue some kind of vague idea about moderation :P Thanks for sharing! It's simple but I never would have thought of it on my own.
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! :)

yummmy... i used carob chips and added some agave to crunchy pb. sprinkled coconut on top and... voila!
:) 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!
One word- INCREDIBLE!! Esp. b/c they're so easy!!! ;)b
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!
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!
