Place 6 baking cups on a tray
Between 6 standard size baking cups, place about a teaspoon and half of chocolate in the bottom of the paper cups. Transfer to the freezer for about 5 minutes.
Pull out of the freezer and distribute peanut butter mix evenly between the six cups. Place back into the freezer for another 5-10 minutes or until peanut butter is hard to the touch.
Pull out of the freezer, and distribute remaining chocolate evenly on top of peanut butter.
Top with a pinch of pink salt on top if you want.
Freeze for another 5-10 minutes.
You can store them in the fridge or freezer.
*You can also make these with almond butter!
If your kitchen is cold and the chocolate starts to harden while you are working with it, re-melt it in a saucepan or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds.
