If you love the classic pairing of chocolate and peanut butter, you will adore this simple version. It uses just four pantry staples to create a dessert that is naturally free from dairy, eggs, and refined sugar.

My favorite thing about this recipe is that it is so easy to whip up whenever a sugar craving hits. Keep them in the freezer so you always have a quick, satisfying bite ready to go.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Line a muffin tin with paper liners or use a silicone mold.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter and maple syrup until smooth.

  3. 3

    Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave in thirty second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.

  4. 4

    Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin cup and spread it up the sides slightly.

  5. 5

    Place the tin in the freezer for about 5 minutes to let the chocolate set.

  6. 6

    Add a small spoonful of the peanut butter mixture into the center of each cup, then top with the remaining melted chocolate.

  7. 7

    Freeze for another 15 minutes or until the cups are firm, then serve.

💡 Tips

Store these in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. If you prefer a salty contrast, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top before the chocolate hardens.
