Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10 ounces (283 grams) peanut butter
- 10 ounces (283 grams) dark chocolate wafers
- 10 ounces (283 grams) white chocolate wafers
Instructions
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
- Gently melt dark and white chocolate wafers together, stirring continuously until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and fold in creamy peanut butter, mixing until the texture becomes uniform and glossy.
- Arrange mini cupcake liners on a clean baking sheet, preparing them for the chocolate mixture.
- Using a piping bag or small spoon, carefully fill each cupcake liner with the chocolate-peanut butter blend, ensuring even distribution.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill for 7-8 minutes, or until the candies become firm and set.
- Once solidified, transfer the meltaways to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator to maintain their texture and prevent melting.
Notes
- Temper chocolate carefully to prevent seizing by using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to maintain smooth consistency.
- Choose high-quality chocolate wafers with at least 60% cocoa content for richer flavor and better melting properties.
- For gluten-free option, verify chocolate and peanut butter brands are certified gluten-free.
- Experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew for unique flavor variations if peanut allergies are a concern.
