It's ok to give into that chocolate craving with these low FODMAP peanut butter cups! These rich little treats will sweeten your Valentine's day without hurting your tummy.
Mix the peanut butter and icing sugar together in a small bowl. Once smooth, scoop them out using a teaspoon and plop them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Stick them in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
Create a double boiler using a small pot and a heat-proof bowl. Bring the pot of water to a low simmer (not a boil). Place your chocolate pieces in the bowl and put it on top of the pot. Stir constantly.
Once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, place 20 liners in mini muffin tins and scoop one tablespoon of chocolate into each liner. Give the tray a light tap on the counter to level the chocolate in each well.
Remove your peanut butter drops from the freezer. Place one drop in each well. Wait 1-2 minutes for the peanut butter to thaw and lightly tap the tray on the counter to level the peanut butter mixture.
Add the remaining chocolate to each liner. Make sure to leave room at the top to remove the lining later. Tap your tray a final time to level the top layer of chocolate and place in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Once firm, remove the liners from the treats and store in the refrigerator. Allow to warm up on the counter for 10 minutes before serving.
