Equipment

  • muffin tray
  • cupcake liners

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup powdered peanut butter
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 5 tbsp reduced fat milk

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave. Cook the chocolate in 30 second intervals and make sure to stir often.
  • Mix in olive oil and transfer half the chocolate to cupcake liners. Slowly move each liner around so the chocolate forms an edge on the bottom.
  • Allow chocolate to settle in the freezer for 10 minutes. While the chocolate is settling, combine the powdered peanut butter and milk in a mixing bowl.
  • Use a spoon to put the peanut butter in the chocolate, and place the tray back in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Then cover the peanut butter with your remaining chocolate. Place the tray back in the freezer for another 10 minutes.

Notes

  • Remember to move each liner around so the first layer of chocolate forms an edge on the bottom. This will create a bowl for the peanut butter.
