Notes
- Do not use reduced-fat or generic brands of peanut butter.
- Do not use unrefined coconut oil. Unrefined coconut oil has a coconut taste to it. Refined coconut oil does not have a coconut taste.
- I like to use a large glass measuring cup to melt the ingredients. The reason is that the spout on the measuring cup makes it easier to pour the liquid ingredients.
- I prefer using a piping bag to fill the mini muffin cups. However, you could also use a spoon.
