Equipment

1 Piping bags
1 Semi Sphere Mold

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ Cup Peanut Butter Smooth or Crunchy
  • ⅓ Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
  • 6 Ounce Chocolate Melts Brown
  • 3 Ounce Blue Chocolate Melts
  • 3 Ounce Green Chocolate Melts

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mold

  • Clean and dry the semi-sphere mold thoroughly.

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!
