Recipe:

Ingredients:

• For the Base:
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• For the Peanut Butter Filling:
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• For the Chocolate Topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. Make the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand. Press about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup to form a solid base. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to set.
3. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In another bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and melted butter until smooth and well combined. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture over each chilled base, spreading it evenly.
4. Prepare the Chocolate Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer in each cup, smoothing the top with a spoon.
5. Chill: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and let the cups chill for at least 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is set and firm.
6. Serve: Once set, remove the peanut butter cups from the muffin tin. Enjoy them cold or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

These no-bake chocolate peanut butter cups are a delicious and easy treat that everyone will love!
