Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat the mixture in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring well after each session until it's entirely melted and smooth, taking about 1 to 2 minutes in total.
  2. Once your chocolate is melted, stir in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 3 tablespoons of quinoa crisps until everything is well coated.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut flour until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
  4. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of the chocolate mixture into silicone cupcake liners, spreading it evenly to create a base.
  5. Take 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture, roll it into a ball and gently flatten it. Place this piece right in the center of the chocolate base in each cupcake liner.
  6. Pour more of the chocolate mixture on top, completely covering the peanut butter center.
  7. Place the filled silicone liners in the freezer for approximately 20-30 minutes or until completely firm.
  8. Once set, carefully peel the peanut butter cups from the silicone liners.
