These super easy yet impressive dulce de leche chocolate cups require only 4 ingredients! Peanut butter chocolate cups have no chance next to this indulgence.

{scroll down for video tutorial}These super easy yet impressive dulce de leche chocolate cups require only 4 ingredients! Peanut butter chocolate cups have no chance next to this indulgence.

Salty sweet, irresistibly smooth, these little chocolate cups filled with dulce de leche are my absolute weakness!

It’s no secret I live for chocolate and dulce de leche. I mean, this cheesecake, this decadent layer cake, these brownies, these bars… You got the idea, I love them sweets!

And here I’m with yet another dessert featuring this decadent combination.

I was inspired by popular peanut butter chocolate cups. But since I don’t love peanut butter that much – I know I’m crazy, but hope we can still be friends – I filled mine with what I love most.

And to balance off all that sweetness, I sprinkled some sea salt flakes. I use this Maldon sea salt flakes, because it’s the best stuff! The combination is just perfection, I’m telling ya.

Tips for success

For this recipe, I highly recommend using good quality chocolate that you love eating on its own. Ghirardelli is one of two brands that I simply adore. (The other one is Lindt.) No, I’m not paid to tell you this. And you know, I’d have let you know right away, if I was.

Well, anyway, start with chocolate that you truly love. And for easy melting, chop them nice and fine. I usually follow the microwave instructions on the packaging. Mine says 1 minute at 50% power, then 30 seconds also at 50% power until fully melted, stirring at each round.

Also we’re mixing in a little bit of coconut oil into the chocolate, which helps to keep the chocolate smooth and soft. When I tried making this recipe without any oil, the chocolate hardened a bit too much and it was tricky to avoid white discoloration when chocolate sets. So a little bit of oil helped!

Hope you love these sweet and salty chocolate cups. And as always, thanks for reading!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz gr semi-sweet chocolate bar
  • ½ tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup dulce de leche
  • Sea salt flakes
Note: I test all my recipes with both measurements for the most precise and accurate result!

Instructions

  • Line mini muffin tin with paper liners. Or you can use mini muffin silicone cups.
  • Place dulce de leche in a piping bag with plain tip, or ziplock bag with one corner cut.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, place the chopped chocolate and coconut oil.
  • Melt the chocolate in microwave according to the package instructions.
  • Pour about 1 tablespoon of chocolate into each cup.
  • Let it set for about 5 minutes.
  • Then pipe about 1 teaspoon of dulce de leche into each cup, as shown in the video above.
  • Divide the remaining melted chocolate into each cup to cover the filling.
  • Freeze for 15 minutes and enjoy! Store the chocolate cups in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to a month in airtight container.

    These look like something my husband would LOVE! Quick question, do paper liners come off easily?

      Hi, Olya! Yes, paper liners came right off. I was worried that they’ll stick too, but it didn’t. Hope you make these for your husband. Let me know if you do.
