Ingredients

Scale

1/2x 1x 2x 3x

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter (240g)

3. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin cup. Spread slightly to cover the base.
5. Add a heaping teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture on top of the chocolate. Press down gently and smooth the top.
   
6. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of the peanut butter layer (optional but recommended for authentic Snickers flavor).
