Description

Delicious handheld desserts featuring a velvety peanut butter filling, a crunchy graham cracker crust, and a glossy chocolate top.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1⅓ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 10 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt (full fat, plain)
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 10 tablespoons peanut butter (natural)
  • 1½ cups chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Mix graham crumbs with melted butter until it looks like wet sand. Press into muffin tin cups to create a base. Bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until golden; cool.
  2. Whisk Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and peanut butter until smooth and glossy. Spoon or pipe into cooled crusts until just below the rim.
  3. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil until glossy. Spoon over each cup to create a shiny top.
  4. Chill for at least 2 hours or freeze for 30–45 minutes until filling is set.
  5. Run a warm knife around edges for tidy removal.

Notes

Don’t overmix the yogurt and peanut butter. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best results. Store in an airtight container to keep crust crisp.
