# Ingredients:
→ Filling
01 -
½ cup (129 g) creamy peanut butter

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
03 -
¼ cup (31 g) confectioners' sugar

# Steps:

Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, add peanut butter, butter, and confectioners' sugar. Use a hand mixer on low to combine all ingredients. Set aside.

Add the chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring after every 20 seconds, until the chocolate is melted and creamy (about 1-2 minutes total).
04 -
Add about 1 tablespoon of chocolate to the bottom of each muffin tin liner, just enough to fully coat the bottom. Top with 2 heaping teaspoons of the peanut butter mixture in the center. Add about 1 tablespoon of chocolate to the top of each cup. Carefully tap the muffin tin on the counter to help the chocolate settle and smooth out the tops.
