Instructions

Place your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each of 6 muffin cups.
In a small bowl, combine 5 tablespoons PB2 powdered peanut butter with 5 tablespoons water. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Evenly distribute the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate layer in each muffin cup.

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate over each banana slice to cover.
Sprinkle each cup with a pinch of coarse sea salt. Freeze for approximately 45 minutes, or until firm.

Notes

Nutrition Disclaimer: Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary by ingredients, brands, and portion sizes. Use them as a general guide, not a guarantee.

Storage: These peanut butter cups can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5–7 days for a soft, ready-to-eat texture. For a firmer, more classic peanut butter cup consistency, store in the freezer for 30–45 minutes before serving.

Ingredient swaps: Feel free to use your favorite chocolate (dark, milk, or semi-sweet) and swap PB2 for regular peanut butter if you prefer a richer filling. Adjust quantities slightly if using creamy peanut butter to maintain the right consistency. Keep in mind swapping ingredients will change nutrition facts.
