  • 2.5 cups chocolate melting wafers

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Transfer the peanut butter mixture to a pastry bag or ziploc bag with a small section of the corner cut off.
  • Melt the chocolate melting wafers in a medium microwave-safe bowl for 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until fully melted.
  • Add 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate to the bottom of each liner.
  • Pipe the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate.
  • Top the peanut butter with 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate.
  • Place in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to set.
  • Remove and enjoy.

Notes

For best results, use a creamy, shelf-stable peanut butter. The Ghirardelli melting wafers are recommended for a softer, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate texture.
