1/2 cup melted creamy peanut butter (120 g)

Instructions

1.) Prepare six cupcake liners (or any substitute item that can hold each peanut butter cup).

2.) Stir peanut butter and powdered sugar together in a bowl until smooth.

3.) Spread 1-2 tablespoons of chocolate on the bottom of each cupcake liner. Add 1-2 teaspoons of the peanut butter and sugar mix on top of the chocolate. Cover with more chocolate and smooth out the top.

Chocolate Oatmeal Bars

Tatler Asia

Ingredients (for 16-20 servings)

3 cups rolled oats

1 cup butter

1 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup peanut butter

Instructions

1.) Line an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. Overhang the edges of the foil to have an easier time lifting the bars from the dish later on.

2.) Using medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar in a large saucepan. Stir in vanilla and mix in the oats.

3.) Pour half of the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly. The other half will be for the second layer.

4.) For the filling, melt the peanut butter and chocolate chips together and stir until smooth. Pour this over the crust in the pan (reserve 1/4 cup for drizzling) and spread evenly.

5.) Refrigerate for several hours or leave overnight. Bring to room temperature before cutting into bars.
