Ingredients
- ¼ cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter, softened
- 2½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (many are accidentally vegan, just read the ingredients)
Instructions
- Place 12 small cupcake liners into a 12-cupcake cupcake tin.
- In a medium-sized bowl, stir together, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and nutritional yeast until smooth.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler set up, or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
- One at a time, spoon 1-2 tsp of melted chocolate into the bottom of the cupcake liner. If necessary, move the chocolate with the spoon to cover the bottom completely.
- Place the cupcake tin into the fridge for 5 mins to harden the chocolate.
- Once the chocolate is hardened, add 1 tsp -1 tbsp of the peanut butter mixture in the middle of the cupcake liner. Careful not to get too close to the edge.
- Finally, cover each peanut butter mound with more chocolate, ensuring the tops are smooth and even.
- Place the cupcake tin into the fridge for 30-60s minutes, or until chocolate is nice and hard.
- Store in the fridge or a cool area.
