- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
Instructions
- Place a large or mini silicone cup pan on a baking sheet for stability. Set aside.

- Freezing: Freeze in a freezer-safe container or bags for 1–2 months. Thaw 5–15 minutes at room temperature before eating.
- Stovetop method: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine peanut butter and maple syrup, whisking until warm and slightly bubbling. Remove from heat and proceed with the recipe.
