Chocolate Peanut Butter Mini Earths Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/3 Cup Peanut Butter (Smooth or Crunchy)
• 1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Butter
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 6 Ounce Chocolate Melts
• 3 Ounce Blue Chocolate Melts
• 3 Ounce Green Chocolate Melts

Instructions:

Clean and dry the mold.

Melt the green chocolate candy melts in a small microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until liquified.

Put the melted green chocolate in a piping bag and cut a tiny hole in the tip.

Pipe small green shapes randomly on the inside of each semi-sphere slot. Place the mold in the freezer for 5 minutes.

Melt the blue chocolate following the same melting instructions as above.

Using a small spoon, scoop out the melted blue chocolate and place it in each semi-sphere slot. Use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate evenly. Repeat for each slot, then put the mold in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Melt the brown chocolate using the same method as before.

Use a clean small spoon to scoop out the brown chocolate and spread it in the semi-sphere slots, covering the blue layer. Return the mold to the freezer for 10 minutes.

In a bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and butter until smooth and combined.

Remove the mold from the freezer and place a small amount of the peanut butter mixture on top of each chocolate-filled semi-sphere. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the tops.

Use the remaining melted brown chocolate to cover each semi-sphere completely. Return the mold to the freezer for 10 minutes.

Once set, remove the mold from the freezer and carefully push each mini earth out of the mold, ensuring they are right-side up.

Serve and enjoy!

Note:

• These mini earths can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
