Freeze the first chocolate layer until fully set before adding the peanut butter filling — this keeps the layers distinct instead of the filling sinking through.
Instructions:
- Coat the Liners: Melt half the chocolate chips and spoon a thin layer into cupcake liners, tilting to coat the sides slightly. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
- Make the Filling: Mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl.
- Fill the Cups: Spoon the peanut butter mixture over the set chocolate layer in each liner.
- Top with Chocolate: Melt the remaining chocolate and pour over the peanut butter layer, covering completely.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with flaky salt, if using.
- Freeze & Serve: Freeze for 20-30 minutes, until firm, before serving.
