Ingredients
- 1/3 Cup Peanut Butter (Smooth or Crunchy)
- 1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
- 6 Ounce Chocolate Melts (Brown)
- 3 Ounce Blue Chocolate Melts
- 3 Ounce Green Chocolate Melts
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Mold: Clean and dry the semi-sphere mold thoroughly. (Find where to buy these molds in recipe card)
- Melt the Green Chocolate: Place the green chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second intervals until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag and cut a tiny hole in the tip. Pipe small green shapes randomly inside each semi-sphere slot. Place the mold in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Melt the Blue Chocolate: Follow the same melting instructions for the blue chocolate. Use a small spoon to scoop out the melted blue chocolate and fill each semi-circle slot. Use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate evenly. Repeat for each slot and freeze for 10 minutes.
- Melt the Brown Chocolate: Melt the brown chocolate in the same way. Scoop out the melted chocolate and spread it in the semi-sphere slots, covering the blue layer. Freeze for another 10 minutes.
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and butter until smooth.
- Assemble the Mini Earths: Once the chocolate is set, scoop a small amount of the peanut butter mixture onto the top of each chocolate-filled semi-sphere. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the top.
- Finish with Brown Chocolate: Use the remaining brown chocolate to cover each semi-sphere slot. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Unmold and Serve: Remove the mold from the freezer and carefully push each mini earth out of the mold. Serve and enjoy!
