To make salted chocolate peanut butter cups all you need is a handful of ingredients (most of which you probably already have in your pantry), a chocolate mould or a mini muffin tin + paper liners, a microwave, and a freezer.

Just start with a layer of melted dark chocolate, freeze, then a layer of peanut butter, freeze again , and more chocolate on top. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt, then place the tray in the freezer for 15 minutes or so and wait for them to firm up. It’s as easy as that!

You can customize your peanut butter cups in a number of ways. I always make them with dark chocolate because  I ♡ dark chocolate, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand or prefer. You could also substitute the peanut butter with almond butter or any other nut or seed butter.

Store the cups in the fridge or freezer for up to 5 days. I don’t advise you to keep them at room temperature because they will melt.

Salted chocolate peanut butter cups are one of those desserts I can’t resist and I think you guys are going to LOVE them. Just be warned that these are very very hard to resist!
