Ingredients You’ll Need for Peanut Butter Fluff Bites
There are five ingredients in the fluff bites.
Phyllo Chocolate Shells: Athens Chocolate Flavor Phyllo Shells are recommended. However, you can also use regular non-chocolate phyllo shells.
Peanut Butter: Use your favorite smooth peanut butter.
Milk: Use to soften the peanut butter for easy mixing.
Non-dairy Whipped Topping: Cool Whip or other brands of whipped topping work well for this dessert.
Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips: Melt and create decorations to top the bites.
Preparing the Peanut Butter Fluff Shells
Follow these steps to make Peanut Butter Fluff Shells.
- Set up your shells. Start by removing the phyllo shells from the box and setting them aside on a clean surface. If they are frozen, you do not have to thaw them. If you prefer crunchier shells, bake them in a 350-degree F oven for 3-5 minutes, and then let them cool to room temperature before adding the filling.
- Mix the filling. Combine the peanut butter and milk in a small mixing bowl. Stir or whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Gently fold in the non-dairy whipped topping until it’s also well mixed.
- Fill the shells. Spoon generous amounts of the peanut butter mixture into each chocolate phyllo shell. Set them aside while you prepare the chocolate garnish.
Creating Your Chocolate Garnish
Make decorative garnishes for the Peanut Butter Fluff Bites. They are festive when the bites are served for special celebrations and also to add the chocolate taste when using non-chocolate phyllo cups.
- Melt the chocolate. Heat the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
- Create decorative designs on parchment paper. Once the chocolate is melted, use a piping bag, paintbrush, or spoon to create designs on a sheet of parchment paper with the melted chocolate. You can write messages, draw shapes, or any fun designs you envision.
- Harden the garnish. Place the chocolate designs in the freezer or refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
Garnish Your Peanut Butter Fluff Bites
After the chocolate has hardened, carefully pull the decorative garnishes from the parchment paper and insert them into the filled peanut butter bites. Serve immediately or store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
