Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup of wow butter (You can replace with creamy peanut butter if you don’t have an allergy)
  • 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Prepare a mini cupcake tin with liners (about 6-8 liners)
  • Place the 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a microwave safe bowl.
    Heat in 15 second increments until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Spread about a tablespoon of chocolate on the bottom of each cupcake liner.
  • In another bowl, mix together the ½ cup wow butter and the 3 tablespoons powdered sugar until combined.
    You can microwave this combo for 10 seconds or less so it's a little easier to work with.
  • Next, add about 1 tablespoon of the wow butter mixture on top of the chocolate layer.
  • Cover the wow butter with more melted chocolate until you reach the top of the muffin liner and smooth out the top.
  • Refrigerate for at least an hour or until chocolate has hardened and you’re done!
    Make sure to leave out for a while before consuming or the chocolate will be rock hard.

Notes

Vegan: Use gluten free vegan chocolate chips or chocolate, vegan nut free butter spread like wow butter and vegan sugar.
Storing: Keep chocolate in a zip top bag or airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
I do not recommend freezing these chocolates.
