Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter (use natural, unsweetened for best flavor)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (choose your preference for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for added depth of flavor)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt (to enhance sweetness)

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla flavored works great)

1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate, depending on your preference)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, helps with chocolate smoothness)

Mini paper cupcake liners (to hold your peanut butter cups)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk together vigorously until the mixture achieves a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Spoon into Liners: Take a mini muffin tin and line each compartment with mini paper cupcake liners. Using a tablespoon, scoop the peanut butter mixture into each liner, pressing down gently to create a firm base. Set aside a small portion of this mixture for topping later on.

      Freeze the Base: Transfer the muffin tin to the freezer and allow it to chill for about 30 minutes, or until the peanut butter bases are firm to the touch.

        Make the Yogurt Layer: While the peanut butter bases are freezing, take another bowl to stir the Greek yogurt until it’s smooth and creamy. If you want a sweeter yogurt layer, mix in a drizzle of honey or a splash of vanilla extract.

          Add Yogurt Layer: Retrieve the muffin tin from the freezer. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture onto each frozen peanut butter layer in the liners, using a small spatula or the back of a spoon to spread and smooth it evenly.

            Top with Peanut Butter: With the reserved peanut butter mixture, add a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) on top of the yogurt layer in each cupcake liner, giving an extra boost of peanut butter flavor.

              Coat in Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using). Microwave in intervals of 30 seconds, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

                Add Chocolate Layer: Spoon the melted chocolate over each peanut butter and yogurt layer, ensuring to cover it completely. Use a small spatula to spread it out evenly across the top.

                  Final Freeze: Place the muffin tin back in the freezer and let the cups freeze for an additional hour or until they are completely set and solid.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Once the cups are frozen solid, gently pull the paper liners to pop the cups out of the muffin tin. Enjoy your delightful frozen yogurt peanut butter cups straight from the freezer for a refreshing treat!
