Equipment

  • Mini Muffin Tin
  • Mini Muffin Liners

Ingredients
  

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Seeds

  • 12 pieces Peanut Butter Cup Shaped Seeds These are imaginary seeds representing the core of your peanut butter cups.

Compost Layer

  • 1 cup Chocolate Compost (melted) Any kind of chocolate chips, melted.

Growth Medium

  • 0.5 cup Peanut Butter Growth Medium Creamy peanut butter is best.

Water & Sunlight

  • 0.25 cup Warm Water For watering your "plants".
  • 2 hours Sunlight Direct sunlight or a grow lamp.

Instructions
 

Planting

  • In each mini muffin cup, place one peanut butter cup shaped seed, pressing it gently into the bottom to ensure it is well-seated.
  • Carefully pour a small layer of melted chocolate compost over each seed, ensuring it is fully covered by the rich chocolate soil.

Nurturing

  • Gently spoon a small amount of peanut butter growth medium on top of the chocolate layer in each cup, spreading it evenly to form the core of your cups.
  • Add a final layer of melted chocolate compost over the peanut butter, encapsulating it completely and forming the top of your growing peanut butter cups.

Growth & Harvest

  • Place the muffin tin in a warm, sunny spot or under a grow lamp for at least two hours, allowing the "cups" to solidify and "grow" properly.
  • Once firm, carefully remove the chocolate peanut butter cups from their muffin tin, peeling away the liners to reveal your freshly "grown" treats.
  • For optimal enjoyment, refrigerate your harvested chocolate peanut butter cups for a short period before serving, enhancing their texture and taste.
