Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or use dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil helps the chocolate set smoothly
  • 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2.5 tbsp powdered sugar sweetens and firms the peanut butter
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.13 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.33 cup seedless raspberry or strawberry jam use your favorite jelly or jam
  • 2 tbsp roasted peanuts, chopped optional, for topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Line a 12-cup mini muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20–30 second bursts and stirring until smooth.
  • Spoon about 1 teaspoon melted chocolate into each liner and tilt or tap to coat the bottom. Chill 5 minutes to set slightly.
  • Stir together peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until thick and spreadable.
  • Portion a rounded teaspoon of peanut butter mixture onto each chocolate base and gently flatten.
  • Add a small dollop of jam on top of the peanut butter in each cup.
  • Cover each cup with enough melted chocolate to seal, then tap the pan to level. Sprinkle peanuts on top if using.
  • Chill until firm, about 15–20 minutes. Serve or store covered in the fridge.

Notes

Variation: Swap almond butter or cashew butter for a twist, or use different jams like apricot or grape. Finish with a pinch of flaky salt for contrast. Storage: Keep refrigerated up to 1 week or freeze up to 2 months.
