Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Coating
  • 8 ounces Dark Chocolate Choose dairy-free chocolate for a vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil Substitute with any neutral oil if preferred.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Opt for 100% peanut-based spreads.
  • 1 cup Quinoa Crisps Substitute with rice crisps for a similar texture.
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup Honey or agave syrup can be used as alternatives.
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour Regular flour may work but could change the texture.

Equipment

  • microwave-safe bowl
  • Mixing bowls
  • Silicone cupcake liners

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and quinoa crisps. Stir well until thoroughly mixed, then set aside.
  3. Blend the peanut butter and maple syrup in a small bowl. Mix until fully combined, then gradually fold in the coconut flour until the mixture thickens.
  4. Spoon approximately ½ tablespoon of the melted chocolate into silicone liners, covering the bottom.
  5. Roll a teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture into a small ball, flatten it slightly, and place it in the center of the chocolate layer.
  6. Pour remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling to fully cover it, ensuring a smooth layer.
  7. Place the filled silicone liners in the freezer and let them chill until fully set, about 1 to 2 hours.
  8. Once frozen solid, gently peel the silicone liners away from the chocolate to enjoy.
