Introduction
These bite-sized treats are a delightful combination of creamy peanut butter, rich chocolate, and a buttery graham cracker crust. They’re so easy to make that even a child can handle them, making them a perfect dessert for any occasion.
Ingredients:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions:
Prepare the crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of mini muffin tins, creating a crust. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Make the filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
Assemble the pies: Divide the peanut butter filling evenly among the prepared crusts.
Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Top the pies: Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter filling.
Refrigerate: Refrigerate the pies for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set.
Tips:
For a nuttier flavor, add chopped peanuts to the graham cracker crust.
You can also use a chocolate ganache instead of the melted chocolate topping.
Store the pies in the refrigerator for up to a week.
