FAQ:
Q: Can I use natural peanut butter?
Yes, but the texture may be looser. Stir well and consider refrigerating before mixing for better consistency.
Q: What chocolate works best?
Any good-quality chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars will do. Use what you love—milk, dark, or even dairy-free.
Q: Can I make these in mini muffin tins?
Absolutely. Just reduce the filling amounts slightly for each layer.
Q: Is powdered sugar necessary?
It helps bind the peanut butter and adds sweetness, but you can reduce or replace it with a sugar alternative if desired.
