The Night These Meltaways Stole the Show

A while back, my husband was heading to a function and, of course, had the last-minute idea that it would be nice to bring some treats. I immediately volunteered and figured Avalanche Cookies would be reliable since I only had about 30 minutes.

Unfortunately, I quickly realized I was out of Rice Krispies and marshmallows. But I did have chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and peanut butter…so basically half the ingredients, haha.

That’s when I remembered these Peanut Butter Meltaways, a candy I’ve made before but somehow never shared here. I threw a batch together, popped them in the freezer, and they were ready just in time.

I knew they were good, but I was not prepared for the reaction they got. My husband said people were going wild over them, which cracked him up since he knew they were basically just chocolate chips and peanut butter. A couple of people even called him later that week asking if there were any extras they could swing by and grab, haha.

Needless to say, I’ve fixed my mistake and am finally sharing these. Who knew something so simple could be such a hit?!

What You’ll Need to Make Peanut Butter Meltaways

Ingredient	Tip or Swap
White Chocolate Chips	Use high-quality chips for the best melt and smooth texture.
Milk Chocolate Chips	Adds balance and richness. You can swap for semi-sweet if you prefer less sweetness.
Peanut Butter	Creamy peanut butter works best. Avoid natural types that separate easily.
Coconut Oil	Helps create that silky, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Shortening also works in a pinch.

How To Make Peanut Butter Meltaways

1. Prep pan: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners and keep nearby.
2. Melt mixture: Combine everything in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in short bursts.
3. Fill cups: Spoon the melted mixture evenly into the prepared liners.
4. Set and serve: Chill until firm, then enjoy straight from the fridge or at room temp.

Helpful Tools
