- 30 g confectioners' sugar (1/4 cup)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

- Line a baking sheet with parchment and pipe peanut butter disks about 3/4- to 1-inch in diameter and 1/4-inch thick. If needed, lightly press flat with a dampened finger. Place in freezer to harden for about 30 minutes.
- Place baking cups on a baking sheet.
- Melt and temper half of the chocolate (see our post on Microwave Tempering), and partly fill cups.
