Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Mixture
- 1/4 cup smooth Nuts peanut butter
- 1/4 cup crunchy Nuts peanut butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp unrefined coconut oil
- A pinch of salt
Jam Swirl
- 1–2 tbsp strawberry jam
Instructions
- Mix the peanut butter base: In a small mixing bowl, combine the smooth and crunchy peanut butters, honey, coconut oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until fully blended. If the mixture is too stiff, microwave it for 15 seconds to soften for easier mixing.
- Prepare cupcake liners: Place mini cupcake liners in a tin to hold each peanut butter mixture portion.
- Fill and swirl: Spoon the peanut butter mixture into each liner filling them up. Then place about 1/4 teaspoon of strawberry jam on top of each cup. Using a toothpick or sharp knife, gently swirl the jam into the peanut butter to create a marbled effect.
- Freeze to set: Place the filled cupcake tin in the freezer for at least 15 minutes, or until the peanut butter cups are firm and hardened.
- Store properly: Transfer the peanut butter and jelly cups to an airtight container and keep them in the freezer until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Microwaving the peanut butter mixture slightly makes it easier to stir and swirl with jam.
- Use mini cupcake liners for perfect-sized bite treats.
- You can substitute strawberry jam with any other berry or fruit jam of your choice.
- Store the cups in the freezer to maintain shape and freshness, as peanut butter softens at room temperature.
- Make sure to swirl gently to avoid mixing jam completely into the peanut butter for best visual effect.
