Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chocolate Base
  • 1.5 cups chocolate chips (semi sweet, milk, or dark) Choose based on preferred sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter Optional, for smoother melting.
Peanut Butter Filling
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter Avoid natural separated peanut butter.
  • 1/4 cup butter For a creamy texture.
  • 1.25 cups powdered sugar Helps achieve the fudge consistency.
  • 1 pinch salt Optional, if using unsalted peanut butter.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt half of the chocolate chips with coconut oil or butter. Spoon a little into each paper liner and tilt the pan so the bottom is covered. Freeze for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt peanut butter and butter until smooth. Stir in powdered sugar and a pinch of salt until it resembles a thick, creamy dough.
Assembly
  1. Press or spoon a small amount of the peanut butter mixture onto each chocolate base, flattening gently for an even layer.
  2. Melt the remaining chocolate and spoon it over the peanut butter layer. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to settle the chocolate.
Chill and Serve
  1. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour, or freeze for about 20 minutes.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Use a piece of parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. If desired, sprinkle flaky salt on top after the last chocolate layer for added flavor.
