Instructions

Step 1: In a pot or microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil and carob chips. Continue mixing if using a pot since it will melt quickly. If you are using a microwave, melt for no longer than 20 seconds and stir.

Step 2: If you desire, put mini cupcake liners in your silicone pan. This will make them easier to remove but is not necessary.

Step 3: Carefully spoon the melted carob mix into the mold and press some of the coating onto the sides and bottom. This can quickly be done with the back of a spoon. If your mixture is hardening, you can place it inside another bowl of hot water to keep it from hardening.

Step 5: While the mixture is in the freezer, heat the microwave in a pan or your microwave until it is liquid. Set aside.

Step 6: Take the mold out of your freezer and carefully spoon the peanut butter into the carob cup.’ Put back in the freezer for a few minutes again to harden.

Step 7: Reheat the remainder of the carob mixture as needed. Take the peanut butter cups out of the freeze and spread the remainder of the carob mix on top of the peanut butter.

Step 8: Place back in the freezer for a few minutes. Once hardened, they will be ready to serve.
