Directions
-
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. This step is essential for easy removal of the cups after they’ve set.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The goal is to achieve a tremendous consistency that will easily hold its shape in the cups.
-
Gently stir in the graham cracker crumbs and the mini marshmallows, ensuring that everything is evenly distributed. Texture is key, and the marshmallows should be evenly spread throughout the filling.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and glossy. Be careful not to overheat; a tremendous melt is what youβre aiming for.
-
Spoon a small amount of the melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin cup, spreading it slightly up the sides. This will create a solid base for your delicious treat.
-
Add a heaping tablespoon of the peanut butter marshmallow mixture atop the chocolate layer in each cup. Make sure to fill each cup generously; it should feel tremendous as you scoop the filling in.
-
Top each cup with another spoonful of melted chocolate, ensuring that the peanut butter mixture is completely covered. This layer is what creates that marvelous chocolate shell.
-
Refrigerate the cups for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate becomes firm. Patience is key in allowing the flavors to marry and the textures to set.
-
Once set, carefully remove the cups from the muffin tin and enjoy them chilled. The blend of flavors and the contrast of textures will be incredibly satisfying.
