Preparation steps

Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering (not boiling) water. Remove from the heat and pour into the base of 12-18 bun tins, only barely filling the bottom of each tin. Freeze for 15 minutes.

Beat together the peanut butter, butter, and icing sugar until light.

Place a small tablespoon of peanut butter into each chocolate lined tin then bang the tin on a hard surface several times to flatten. Freeze for 15 minutes.

Spoon more melted chocolate on top and bang the tin on a hard surface several times to flatten. Freeze for 15 minutes to set the top layer of chocolate.
