How is it that in all these years of blogging (and nut butter cup making), it had never occurred to me to make the classic PB&J cup?!
It’s such a classic?!
I mean really . . .
How did miss it?!
Sorry team, I totally dropped the ball on that one.
But, one taste of these beauties and all will be forgiven, believe me . . .
Cool, crisp, decadent, rich, dark chocolate cups stuffed with creamy, dreamy, lightly salted peanut butter + a sweet jammy surprise inside!
OoooOOOO yes!
I almost wasn’t going to post this “recipe” seeings as we just made those dreamy, golden spiced cashew butter cups just a few weeks ago but . . .
These dark chocolate PB&J cups are soooo different from those golden, delicious morsels and, with Halloween just a few short weeks away . . . I figure why not!?
Plus I really wasn’t kidding when I said I always have a variation of these in the fridge/freezer at all times and you know what they say about variety . . . spice up your life baby! (good luck getting that song out of your head now, sorry #spicegirlsforever )
Anyway’s . . . that’s about all the convincing I needed.

Healthy, DIY – 3 Ingredient, Dark Chocolate PB&J Cups {Refined Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan, Keto & Paleo Friendly}
Makes 12-14 Deliciously simple, seriously indulgent, creamy, dreamy, salty, sweet dark chocolate peanut butter & jelly butter cups
Ingredients –
1/2 cup of natural peanut butter (or nut seed butter of choice)
1/2 cup of good quality dark chocolate
2 Tablespoons of 100% real fruit strawberry jam (or your fave kind – homemade or store bought)
Flaky sea salt
Optional add-in;
1-2 scoops of collagen – for protein and gut healing goodness – vegan friends omit
Optional for serving;
Freeze dried strawberries, crumbled into pretty pink, strawberry scented dust.
Method –
1 – Melt chocolate by your preferred method. I like to do mine broiler style by placing my chocolate in a small bowl over a pot of simmering water.
2 – Use a teaspoon to drizzle some melted chocolate into a chocolate mold (or can use mini paper or silicone cupcake/muffin cases if you prefer) and spread to coat evenly. Don’t use all your chocolate, remember you want to save about 1/4 of it to spread on top once our chocolate cups are filled.
3 – Place your chocolate cups in the fridge or freezer for 5-10 mins to set.
4 – Remove your chocolate cups from the fridge or freezer, fill each chocolate cup with a spoonful of your creamy, dreamy, peanut butter then use the back of your spoon carefully smooth out the top. You can either add the jam/jelly right away or pop them into the freezer for 5 mins to firm up, then add you’re jammy filling – totally up to you, either way works.
5 – Once all your cups are filled, top with a little extra chocolate, smooth it all the way to the edges so the filling is completely covered then sprinkle with salt and place them back into the fridge (or freezer) to set.
These delicious little cups will keep well in the fridge for several weeks but can also be stored in the freezer for 3-6 months!
Enjoy xo
