Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth and creamy.
Prepare the Mold: Line a mini muffin tin with liners or lightly grease the molds. Add a small spoonful of melted chocolate to each mold, spreading it evenly to create the base layer.
Add the Filling: Place a dollop of Fit Butters Peanut Butter Cup Butter into the center of each mold, leaving a little room on the edges for the chocolate.
Add the Crunch: Sprinkle peanuts over the peanut butter layer. Add a few chocolate chips if desired for extra texture and sweetness.
Seal with Chocolate: Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the top to completely cover the peanut butter and peanuts. Gently tap the tray on the counter to smooth the chocolate and remove air bubbles.
Freeze and Set: Place the tray in the freezer for 25 minutes or until the cups are fully set.
Enjoy! Pop the cups out of the mold, serve, and savor every crunchy, creamy bite. Store leftovers in the freezer for a ready-to-eat treat anytime!

Recipe Note
Tips for Making Peanut Butter Crunch Cups:
Use High-Quality Chocolate: Opt for good-quality chocolate chips or melting wafers for a smooth and glossy finish.
Don’t Skip the Freezing Step: This helps the layers set perfectly, so your cups pop out clean and hold their shape.
Customize the Crunch: Mix in other nuts, seeds, or even crushed pretzels for added texture and flavor.
Storage Tip: Store the cups in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Simply let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.
Add a Sprinkle of Salt: A pinch of flaky sea salt on top before freezing takes these cups to gourmet status!
