If you love the flavour combination of rich peanut butter with dark chocolate then this recipe is for you! Similar to homemade peanut butter cups, but a lot less fussy to make and much healthier - the perfect WFH afternoon snack or dessert.

These also keep well in the freezer, and that way you can just pop one out, let it defrost for 10-15 minutes and enjoy! Though i admit to liking them frozen too.
