I inherited a major sweet tooth—for chocolate. I prefer dark chocolate that falls between milk chocolate and bitter-dark. Even better when it’s crossed with peanut butter and mint.

Have you ever tasted olive oil with dark chocolate? I’m into it. For all of my enthusiasm for chocolate in its many forms, it’s kind of funny that I haven’t tried making more chocolate treats.

That’s why I got excited when I invented this recipe for mint chocolate peanut butter cups. They require only four ingredients (three, if you drop the flaky sea salt), about ten minutes of prep, and thirty minutes in the freezer.

I dog-eared quite a few recipes in my time, but nothing like this. Most of them, like the baklava-ish toast, are super simple and seem perfect for busy weekdays.

How to make mint chocolate peanut butter cups.
If you don’t know Adam yet, he runs a blog that promotes plant-based eating, and a podcast in which he interviews super interesting people. Actually, two podcasts—he just released a new podcast that covers his entire cookbook-making process. I’m obsessed.

These are so easy to make!

If you share my sweet tooth, I hope you’ll give these a shot. They’re a fun alternative to those expensive gourmet varieties that I mentioned above, and just one can satisfy my chocolate cravings for the day. Although, sometimes I go back for another, and then maybe another. They’re that good.

Delicious mint chocolate peanut butter cups! These dark chocolate treats are fun and easy to make. Recipe yields 12 to 15 mini cups; multiply if necessary (you’ll need that many mini cupcake liners—look for them in the baking aisle).


SCALE 1X2X3X
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons peanut butter
¼ teaspoon mint extract
1 cup dark chocolate (I used 6 ounces dark chocolate chips)
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

INSTRUCTIONS
In a small bowl, stir together the honey and peppermint extract until combined. Arrange mini cupcake liners on plate(s) or fill a mini cupcake pan with the liners, if you have one.
Melt the chocolate (I did this in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each one, or you can use a double boiler on the stove). Fill the bottom of each cup with 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate. Add a small dollop of the honey mixture in the center, then top it with another teaspoon of the chocolate.
Sprinkle a little sea salt over the cups (note: if you want the salt to stay visible on top like mine, wait until the cups have chilled for about 5 minutes to sprinkle with salt). Freeze the candies until firm, about 30 minutes, then they will be ready to eat! For maximum longevity, store them in the refrigerator in a sealed bag

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
