Ingredients

Five-Minute Morning Prep

Mix melted oil, honey, and cocoa and refrigerate.

Test Kitchen Tip

Whisk the chocolate mixture well to avoid having the chocolate “bloom” once set and hardened. Due to the low melting point of coconut oil, serve cold to prevent cups from getting too soft.

Instructions

Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.

Melt coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Whisk in honey until incorporated; whisk in cocoa.

Pour 1 tablespoon mixture into each prepared muffin cup. Refrigerate until hardened, 5 to 10 minutes. Reserve remaining chocolate mixture.

Place peanut butter in a plastic piping bag, and cut off tip. Pipe peanut butter in center of each cup, leaving a border around cup. Place 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Dip your fingertip in water, and press peanut butter flat and even.

Whisk remaining chocolate mixture; pour 1 tablespoon mixture into each cup. Refrigerate until hardened, 5 to 10 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
