Liv and I have differing choices here... she prefers the sweetened peanut butter while I go for peanut butter in its raw for. However you decide, enjoy the chocolate peanut butte love!
1 cup good quality dark chocolate
1 tsp coconut oil
1/2 cup peanut butter (organic if possible)
1/3 cup powdered sugar (Liv says 1/2 cup is good too! Too sweet for me...)
Melt chocolate in a double boiler on the stove over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
To prepare filling, blend penaut butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
Remove set chocolate from the refrigerator and place a very small dollop of peanut butter on top of the chocolate. Use a small spoon to flatten the peanut butter.
Spoon more chocolate over the peanut butter to "close" the cup. Return to the fridge to set completely. When solid, remove and pop from the silicone molds.
I store ours in the fridge and love the crunch of the chilled chocolate. However, if you prefer a softened version, remove from fridge and allow to come to room temp before eating.
Enjoy!
