Description

These delicious Chocolate Cups are a delightful treat combining rich dark chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and sweet jelly, all topped with a touch of flaky sea salt for a perfect balance of flavors. Easy to prepare and perfect for snacking or gifting.

Ingredients

Chocolate Base

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil

Filling

  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup jam or jelly

Topping

  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once mostly melted, add the coconut oil and continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Prepare Bases: Place 12 muffin liners on a sheet pan or cutting board. Spoon 2 to 3 teaspoons of the melted chocolate into each liner, then gently roll the liners to allow the chocolate to coat about a quarter inch up the sides, creating a chocolate shell.
  3. Chill Bases: Refrigerate the tray with the chocolate-lined muffin cups for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened sufficiently to hold its shape.
  4. Add Peanut Butter: Use the back of a spoon to spread a dollop of creamy peanut butter into each hardened chocolate cup, making sure it is distributed near the edges for an even filling.
  5. Add Jelly: Spoon a small dollop of jam or jelly on top of the peanut butter layer in each cup.
  6. Top with Chocolate and Salt: Use the remaining melted chocolate to cover the peanut butter and jelly layers, sealing each cup. Sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt onto the top of each chocolate cup for added flavor.
  7. Final Chill: Refrigerate the completed chocolate cups for 30 minutes or until fully hardened before serving.

Notes

  • You can use any kind of jam or jelly according to your preference, such as raspberry, strawberry, or grape.
  • If you do not have flaky sea salt, a pinch of regular salt can be substituted.
  • Make sure to gently roll the muffin liners to avoid breaking the chocolate shell.
  • Store the chocolate cups in the refrigerator to keep them firm, especially in warmer climates.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with a seed butter like sunflower seed butter.
