Ingredients
Cooking spray
to taste (for greasing)
White chocolate candy melts
2 cups (melted)
Dark chocolate candy melts
1/3 cup (melted)
Chunky peanut butter
6 tablespoons (for filling)
Instructions
1
Begin by spraying an ice cube tray lightly with cooking spray to prevent the candies from sticking.
2
Melt the dark chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between until smooth.
3
Use a piping bag or a spoon to drizzle the melted dark chocolate across the bottom of the ice cube tray in a decorative striped pattern. Place the tray in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
4
Next, melt the white chocolate candy melts the same way until fully melted and smooth.
5
Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of melted white chocolate into each compartment of the tray. Tilt the tray gently in all directions to evenly coat the sides, creating a beautiful white chocolate shell. Return the tray to the freezer for another 10-15 minutes.
6
Once the white chocolate has set, add about 1/2 tablespoon of chunky peanut butter to each compartment, making sure it is centered.
7
Cover the peanut butter with the remaining melted dark chocolate. Ensure that the peanut butter is completely enclosed. Place the tray back in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the set is firm.
8
Carefully pop the candies out of the tray and enjoy your beautifully crafted Decadent White Chocolate Peanut Butter Delights!
