Peanut Butter Carob Cups

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. + chilling YIELD: 1 dozen
These peanut butter carob cups are dog-friendly since they use carob instead of chocolate. I had my own dogs, Emma and Abby, in mind when I made the recipe! —Shannon Norris, Cudahy, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 1 cup carob chips, divided
  • 3 teaspoons coconut oil, divided
  • 1/3 cup all-natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon honey, optional

Directions

  • 1. Combine 1/2 cup carob chips and 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 30 seconds; stir. Microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until carob is melted and smooth, about 1 minute longer. Carob should not exceed 90°. Spoon teaspoons of carob mixture into silicone molds or foil-lined mini muffin cups; press spoon into center of each cup so mixture coats the sides of liners about halfway up. Freeze until set.
  • 2. Combine peanut butter, 1 teaspoon coconut oil and if using, honey, in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 30 seconds; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Drop 2 teaspoons of peanut butter mixture over carob. Freeze until set.
  • 3. Melt remaining 1/2 cup carob chips and 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds. Spoon mixture by teaspoonfuls over the set peanut butter mixture. Freeze until set. Store in refrigerator.
