- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 12 oz. semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped

- Line two 12 cup mini muffin pans with paper liners; set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate and peanut butter. Microwave, until almost melted,1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, place semisweet chocolate in another microwave- safe bowl. Microwave, stirring once or twice, until almost melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
