Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 (12-ounce) package white chocolate (or vanilla) baking chips
- 1 cup (6 ounces) dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet as an alternative)
Binding and Texture Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (shortening can be used as a substitute)
Serving and Decoration:
- 4 to 5 dozen miniature baking liners or candy cups
- Assorted decorations, frosting, icing, etc. (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Gather white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, peanut butter, and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, ensuring all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth melting.
- Microwave the mixture on HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes (90 seconds), then pause and stir thoroughly to prevent scorching and ensure even heat distribution.
- Return the bowl to the microwave and heat for an additional 30 seconds, stirring until the mixture becomes completely smooth and fully integrated, with no visible lumps.
- Carefully arrange mini baking liners or candy cups on a 10 x 15 inch (25 x 38 centimeters) jelly roll pan, positioning them neatly and evenly spaced.
- Transfer the melted chocolate mixture into a glass measuring cup for precise and controlled pouring, which will help prevent spills and ensure consistent filling.
- Gently pour the liquid mixture into each mini liner, filling them approximately 3/4 to the top to allow for slight expansion and prevent overflow.
- Carefully place the pan with filled liners into the refrigerator, allowing the bliss bites to set and solidify completely for 60-75 minutes.
- After setting, optionally enhance the treats with decorative elements like festive sprinkles, drizzled chocolate, or delicate frosting to elevate their visual appeal and taste profile.
Notes
- Easily melt chocolate and peanut butter together using a microwave, stirring halfway through to prevent burning and ensure smooth consistency.
- Prep mini baking liners on a jelly roll pan for clean, uniform candy making that simplifies the filling process.
- Use a glass measuring cup for precise and mess-free pouring of the melted chocolate mixture into small liners.
- Refrigerate the candies for approximately one hour to achieve a perfect set and solid texture.
- Optional decorative touches like frosting or icing can transform these simple bliss bites into festive holiday treats.
- Choose high-quality white and dark chocolate chips for rich, indulgent flavor that elevates the candy’s taste profile.
