Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) white chocolate (or vanilla) baking chips, 12 oz
- 1 cup (6 oz / 170 g) dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet)
- 1 cup (240 g) creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) coconut oil (shortening can be used as a substitute)
- 4 to 5 dozen miniature baking liners or candy cups
- Assorted decorations, frosting, icing, etc. (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preparation: Combine white and dark chocolate chips, peanut butter, and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, ensuring ingredients are at room temperature for optimal melting consistency.
- Melting Process: Microwave the mixture in 90-second intervals, stirring between each heating cycle to prevent scorching and create a smooth, uniform chocolate base.
- Liner Arrangement: Position mini baking liners evenly on a jelly roll pan, creating a neat and organized foundation for the chocolate treats.
- Filling Technique: Pour the glossy melted mixture into liners using a glass measuring cup, filling each about 3/4 full to prevent overflow and ensure uniform appearance.
- Chilling Stage: Refrigerate the pan for 60-75 minutes, allowing the bliss bites to solidify completely and develop a rich, creamy texture.
- Decorative Finish: Embellish the set treats with festive sprinkles, chocolate drizzle, or delicate frosting to enhance their visual appeal and elevate the holiday presentation.
Notes
- Quick Tempering Tip: Stir chocolate mixture thoroughly during microwaving to prevent burning and ensure smooth, even melting.
- Precise Pouring Strategy: Use a glass measuring cup for controlled, mess-free filling of mini liners, creating professional-looking chocolate bites.
- Chilling Perfection: Refrigerate exactly 60-75 minutes to achieve ideal texture – not too soft, not too hard – guaranteeing a perfect chocolate bite.
- Festive Finishing Touch: Add decorative sprinkles or drizzled chocolate right after pouring to create stunning, bakery-worthy presentation that impresses guests.
