One cup of creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup of sugar in powder form.
One tsp vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare the mold by separating the paper muffin liners and putting them aside.
Melt the chocolate by mixing the chips and oil in a basin that may be heated in the microwave.
In the microwave, cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 seconds at a time, or until melted and smooth.

Using the back of a spoon, gradually draw the chocolate up the sides to form a cup shape. It should work after ten minutes in the freezer.
Be prepared. Transfer the powdered sugar, vanilla essence, and peanut butter into a different dish and blend until well combined. Thus, the filling will be made.

Before sealing the cups, remelt any residual chocolate if it has solidified. Over the peanut butter filling, distribute it evenly.
Tap the tray gently against the counter to remove any air bubbles and level the surface.
For a final touch and a taste boost, you can add a pinch of sea salt to each cup. Put it back in the freezer and let it set for a further 15 to 20 minutes.
