How to Make Wild Mountain Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Ingredients You’ll Need
✔ 8 oz. Wild Mountain Chocolate (we used Peru, but choose your favorite!)
✔ 2 oz. cocoa butter or coconut oil
✔ ½ cup unsweetened peanut butter (smooth or chunky—your choice!)
Tools & Equipment
✔ Silicone muffin cups (highly recommended for easy removal!)
✔ Heavy-bottomed saucepan or double boiler
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate & Cocoa Butter
- Using a double boiler or heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the Wild Mountain Chocolate and cocoa butter or coconut oil together over low heat, stirring gently until smooth.
-
Avoid overheating to preserve the rich flavours and smooth texture.
Step 2: Create the Chocolate Base
- Spoon a layer of melted chocolate into each silicone muffin cup, ensuring the bottom is well coated.
- Place the cups on a baking sheet and freeze for 5 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Step 3: Add the Peanut Butter Filling
- Remove the cups from the freezer and spoon in the peanut butter, evenly spreading it over the chilled chocolate layer.
- Return the cups to the freezer for another 5 minutes to firm up the peanut butter.
Step 4: Seal with a Final Chocolate Layer
- Once the peanut butter has set, pour the remaining melted chocolate over the top to fully seal the peanut butter inside.
- Freeze the cups one final time until firm—about 10 minutes.
Step 5: Enjoy!
- Once fully set, remove the peanut butter cups from the silicone molds.
- Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for a quick, sweet and nutty chocolate fix anytime!
