FAQ
1. Can I use natural peanut butter for this recipe?
Yes, but make sure to stir it well beforehand to avoid separation of oils, as it may affect the texture of the filling.
2. Can I make these cups without added sugar?
Absolutely! Use unsweetened peanut butter and sugar-free chocolate for a healthier version. You can sweeten naturally with a touch of honey or stevia.
3. What type of chocolate works best?
High-quality chocolate bars or chips with at least 60% cocoa work best for a rich flavor. Milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate are great alternatives if you prefer a sweeter taste.
