2-Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

If you ask me, there is NOTHING better than chocolate + peanut butter. These simple two-ingredient mini chocolate peanut cups take that flavor combo to a whole new level.

I’ve loved chocolate since I was a little kid. Twizzlers, Swedish Fish, Starbursts – you can keep those. Just give me all the chocolate!

As I got more interested in nutrition and health, my love for chocolate never waned. But I did start paying more attention to the type of chocolate I was eating and what ingredients were in my favorite treats.

Which brings me to these two-ingredient chocolate peanut butter cups. I’ve been wanting to recreate them for awhile after a friend made a batch and posted photos on Instagram. I’m happy to share that they are even easier than I thought!

I used 60% dark chocolate chips (Ghirardelli is my favorite brand) but you could substitute any good-quality dark chocolate. Choose a natural peanut butter made from just peanuts and salt, and you’re good to go! If you (like me) enjoy a bit of salt with your sweet, you can even sprinkle on some sea salt flakes.

I used mini muffin tin liners to help control the portion size but you could also make them using regular size muffin liners instead (though good luck eating just one!).

Let me know what you think about these peanut butter cups in the comments below!
