Method

Melt the Chocolate

Start by chopping 100g of dark chocolate into small pieces and placing them in a microwave-safe bowl. This helps the chocolate melt evenly without burning. Microwave the chocolate for about 45 seconds, then take it out and stir well. Place it back in the microwave for another 15–30 seconds if needed, stirring again until it’s completely smooth and glossy. Be careful not to overheat it, as chocolate can burn quickly and become grainy.

Make the Bottom Layer

Once the chocolate is fully melted, carefully spoon about two-thirds of it into your Halloween silicone molds. You can use the back of a spoon or a small spatula to spread the chocolate so it coats the bottom and sides of each mold shape. This layer will form the base of your peanut butter cups. Once filled, place the mold in the freezer for about 2 to 5 minutes just long enough for the chocolate to firm up. It doesn’t need to be rock solid, just set enough to hold the filling.

Mix the Filling

While the chocolate is chilling, it’s time to make the yummy peanut butter filling. In a small bowl, combine 60g of creamy peanut butter with 1 teaspoon of powdered peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. If you like a bit of contrast, you can also add a tiny pinch of salt. Mix everything together using a spoon or small spatula until it forms a compact dough. The mixture should be thick and easy to handle not runny.

Add the Filling

Remove the molds from the freezer. Take about ½ teaspoon of the peanut butter dough and press it gently into each chocolate-lined mold. Use your fingers to make sure it fits into the shape evenly and fills most of the center without going over the top. Press lightly but firmly so the filling sits nicely inside the base layer of chocolate.

Top with More Chocolate

Now, pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling in each mold. Use a spoon to smooth the tops if needed, making sure the filling is completely covered. This step seals the peanut butter inside and creates a smooth, shiny top layer. Once all the molds are filled, place them back into the freezer for another 5 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.

Enjoy!

Once everything is chilled and firm, gently pop the peanut butter cups out of the silicone molds. You’ll be left with adorable Halloween-shaped treats that look just as good as they taste perfect for spooky season snacking!
