Description

These Chocolate Raspberry Peanut Butter Cups are the perfect no-bake treat. A creamy peanut butter and raspberry jam filling is nestled between rich chocolate layers for a sweet, slightly tangy bite that melts in your mouth. Ideal for snacking, gifting, or stashing in the freezer for when cravings hit!

Ingredients

For the Chocolate Layers:

• 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

For the Filling:

• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons raspberry jam or preserves (preferably seedless)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare Molds: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or use a silicone mini cup mold.
2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
3. Create Base Layer: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate into each cup. Gently spread it to cover the bottom or tap the tin lightly to level. Freeze for 10 minutes.
4. Make Filling: In a separate bowl, stir together peanut butter, raspberry jam, maple syrup (or honey), and a pinch of salt until well combined.
5. Add Filling: Remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Add about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter-raspberry mixture on top of each hardened chocolate base. Gently spread it to cover most of the chocolate layer.
6. Top with Chocolate: Spoon another teaspoon of melted chocolate over the filling to completely cover it. Smooth the tops as needed.
7. Set: Freeze or refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, or until the cups are fully set.

Storage

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Freezer: Store for up to 2 months. Enjoy directly from the freezer or let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating.

Notes

Nut-Free Option: Use sunflower seed butter for an allergy-friendly alternative.
Jam Choice: Seedless raspberry jam gives the smoothest texture, but any variety works.
Protein Boost: Add 1 teaspoon of your favorite protein powder to the filling for extra nutrition.
