Instructions:
1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sweetener, coconut flour, 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until a smooth dough-like consistency forms.
2. Shape the Peanut Butter Mixture:
- Roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls, about 1 teaspoon each, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should get approximately 12 mini balls. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form discs.
3. Freeze the Peanut Butter Discs:
- Place the baking sheet with the peanut butter discs in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they firm up.
4. Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil. Stir until smooth and well combined.
5. Assemble the Peanut Butter Cups:
- Line a mini muffin tin with mini muffin liners.
- Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin liner, just enough to cover the bottom.
- Remove the peanut butter discs from the freezer and place one disc into each muffin liner on top of the melted chocolate.
- Spoon more melted chocolate over each peanut butter disc, ensuring they are completely covered with chocolate.
6. Set and Chill:
- Tap the muffin tin gently on the counter to smooth out the chocolate and remove any air bubbles.
- Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate sets completely.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once set, remove the mini peanut butter cups from the muffin tin and peel off the liners.
- Store the peanut butter cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Enjoy these delicious keto-friendly Peanut Butter Cups as a satisfying treat!
