Ingredients

• 1.5 Cups of Chocolate Chips
• 14 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter (smooth or chunky)
• ⅔ Cup Light Brown Sugar

Instructions

1. Pour chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and nuke in the microwave until the chocolate is melted. Start with 60 seconds and then in 15 second intervals. Don’t scotch the chocolate!
2. Line a muffin tin with (12) cupcake wrappers.
3. Pour 2 tsp of melted chocolate in each wrapper. Use the back of a spoon to spread the chocolate ¼ inch up the sides. No need to be perfect!
4. Put the muffin tin in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set.
5. Mix 12 tablespoons of peanut butter with ⅔ cup brown sugar. Use more or less sugar depending on your taste.
6. Once the chocolate has set, add about 1.5 tablespoon of peanut butter filling to each cup. Put the muffin tin in refrigerator for about 20 minutes to set.
7. To top it off, put about 1 tsp. of the remaining melted chocolate to the top of the peanut butter and spread evenly. You want it to touch the sides and seep down a bit to connect with the bottom layer of chocolate.
8. Refrigerate for an hour and enjoy!
