Rich homemade candy cups filled with peanut butter caramel sauce and topped with the perfect amount of flaky sea salt.

Peanut Butter Caramel Candy Cups

Yield: 12 candy cups

Ingredients:

- 10 ounces good quality dark chocolate (I used 72%), roughly chopped

- 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter

- 1 cup Peanut Butter Caramel Sauce

- Flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Line a mini muffin pan with 12 tin foil cupcake wrappers and set aside

2. Place chocolate and butter in a medium microwave safe bowl; melt by microwaving the chocolate and butter in 30-second increments and stirring in-between

3. Use a teaspoon to coat the bottom of each cup with melted chocolate; place muffin pan in fridge for fifteen minutes or until chocolate is set

4. Remove pan from fridge and spoon caramel sauce into center of each cup (about 1 tablespoon); if caramel sauce has been chilled and is firm, microwave for 10-20 seconds and stir for a more workable consistency

5. Spoon melted chocolate over caramel and around edges so that coated on all sides; sprinkle tops with flaky sea salt if desired (and it should be desired)

6. Chill for one hour in refrigerator before serving; store in refrigerator up to one week
