Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line 12 standard-sized muffin cups with cupcake liners.
  2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth (about 1.5 to 2 minutes).
  3. Scoop out about 1/2 tablespoon of melted chocolate into each cupcake liner and spread into an even layer at the bottom.
  4. Freeze the muffin tin for 10 minutes.
Filling
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and unsalted butter until smooth.
  2. Scoop 2 teaspoons of the peanut butter mix onto the chilled chocolate layer in each cupcake liner and spread gently.
  3. Freeze again for 10 minutes.
Topping
  1. Top each cup with 1 teaspoon of marshmallow creme, smoothing it out with a wet fingertip.
  2. Freeze again for 10 minutes.
  3. Melt the remaining 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave as before.
  4. Cover the peanut butter and marshmallow layers with the melted chocolate using the two-spoon method.
  5. Freeze for a final 10 minutes to set the top layer.

Notes

These cups are best enjoyed chilled and can be topped with a sprinkle of sea salt or extra mini marshmallows. Store in an airtight container for up to a week; they can also be frozen for longer storage.
