These vegan peanut butter cups are oh so good. Not gonna lie, they melt in your mouth as well as in your hands. Just think of the melted chocolate on your fingers as part of the indulgent experience. This easy, 3 ingredient plant-based dessert is high in protein and deliciousness. To top it all off, peanut butter is an amazing source of vitamin B-6 and magnesium as well.

I don’t own a double boiler. Is there another way to melt the chocolate?
Awesome question! Usually I use two pots. One pot should be slightly larger than the other. Fill the larger pot roughly halfway full with water and place the smaller pot inside. The smaller pot should be slightly floating. This will create the same effect as a double boiler. 😉
