Prepare Chocolate
Place the chocolate chips in a microwavable cup or bowl (a coffee mug works well for this). Use a microwave-safe spoon for stirring. -
Melt the Chocolate
Microwave on 50% power in 30-second increments. Stir the chocolate each time until it is smooth and fully melted, being careful not to overheat to avoid seizing. -
Incorporate Peanut Butter
Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, add the creamy peanut butter. Stir until the peanut butter and chocolate are thoroughly combined into a smooth mixture. -
Form Drops
Use a teaspoon to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper, forming small drops. These can be as uniform or rustic as you prefer. -
Chill to Set
Place the drops in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up quickly. Alternatively, refrigerate for about 1 hour until fully set. -
Storage and Enjoyment
Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them in a sealed container for up to a month. These treats are perfect for enjoying any time you need a quick chocolate and peanut butter fix!
