Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 10 ounces (283 grams) peanut butter
  • 10 ounces (283 grams) dark chocolate wafers
  • 10 ounces (283 grams) white chocolate wafers

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Gently melt dark and white chocolate wafers together, stirring continuously until smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and fold in creamy peanut butter, mixing until the texture becomes uniform and glossy.
  4. Arrange mini cupcake liners on a clean baking sheet, preparing them for the chocolate mixture.
  5. Using a piping bag or small spoon, carefully fill each cupcake liner with the chocolate-peanut butter blend, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill for 7-8 minutes, or until the candies become firm and set.
  7. 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.
